Abstract
A modular jack has an insulative housing, two adjacent internal modules, and a middle shield disposed between the adjacent internal modules. The insulative housing has a front wall and a plurality of openings therein configured as pairs of first and second aligned openings, and a receptacle located behind the openings. Each opening is configured to receive a plug connector therein in a front-to-back direction. The middle shield extends towards a front wall of the insulative to define two module receiving cavities each receiving one internal module. The middle shield includes a conductive plate and an insulative sheet affixed thereto. The insulative sheet faces to the internal modules for insulation between the internal modules and the conductive plate. The insulative sheet is very thin that it occupies little space of the receptacle, thereby reducing a size of the modular jack.
