ABSTRACT:
A blade carrier assembly for use in a communication plug terminating a cord carrying a plurality of conductors. The assembly includes a dielectric carrier having a plurality of grooves disposed on both its upper and lower surfaces for receiving a plurality of electrically conductive blades. One end of the blades is configured to interface with a conductor from a cord, which is an insulation displacement contact (IDC) in the preferred embodiment. The other end of the blades is configured as a jack interface end for electrical communication with a jack spring. In a preferred embodiment, the grooves in the dielectric carrier position the conductor interface ends of the blades in a substantially circular array to conform with the general configuration of conductors in a round cable.
