Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A telecommunications module ( 1 ) comprises at least one pair of contact elements ( 13, 15 ) each extending between opposed sides ( 7, 8 ) of the module and having contacts ( 9, 10 ) at each end to which connections can be made. Each contact element comprises first and second parts ( 17, 19 ), the first part being resiliently-biased into engagement with the second part at a disconnection point ( 21 ), and a separating member ( 23 ) is located between the disconnection points of the pair of contact elements. The separating member ( 23 ) is shaped to deflect a probe ( 29 ), 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.
