ABSTRACT:
A screwless connector is provided for electrically connecting an RJ type connector with two or more insulated conductors. An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a base having spaced grooves with pronged retainers straddling the grooves at each end for holding, indexing, and providing strain relief to conductors. It also includes a top assembly which contains fork-shaped insulation displacement contacts (IDC) in electrical communication with an integrally housed receptacle for an RJ type connector. The top assembly is mated to the bottom assembly and held by detents. The insulation is thereby pierced by grooves of the insulation displacement contacts which are prepositioned in the top assembly, and electrical interconnection is established between the conductors and an RJ type connector placed in the receptacle.
