ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to modular jack and method of assembling thereof. The modular jack allows a portion of the stripped jacket of a cable to be contained within the housing of the jack. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. A strain relief tab ensures that an external force on the cable does not interfere with the connection that the internal insulated wires make with the insulation displacement contacts of the conductive terminal, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. Termination is made by displacing the wire contact portion of the conductive terminal to pierce the insulation of the insulated wires.
