ABSTRACT:
There is provided a jack connector for intermating with a corresponding plug connector. The jack includes a housing which receives a plurality of elongated contacts. Each contact has an arcuate portion which is wider than its adjacent bearing portion. The housing includes a ledge and an adjacent space so that the contact may deflect within the space when force is applied to the bearing portion. Each contact includes a wire termination portion having a substantially zero clearance insulation displacement contact. Each insulation displacement contact is supported by shoulders so as to avoid damage to the contact when a wire is terminated thereto.
