Abstract
A telecommunications module () comprises at least one pair of contact elements () each extending between opposed sides () of the module and having contacts () at each end to which connections can be made. Each contact element comprises first and second parts (), the first part being resiliently-biased into engagement with the second part at a disconnection point (), and a separating member () is located between the disconnection points of the pair of contact elements. The separating member () is shaped to deflect a probe (), inserted into the module from one of the opposed sides, towards the disconnection point of a selected one of the pair of contact elements to break the engagement between the first and second parts of that contact element.
