ABSTRACT:
A modular telephone jack includes a receptacle housing with a first socket for receiving a modular telephone cord plug connector. A discrete jack contact connector is received in a second socket of the receptacle housing and establishes electrical connections with the modular plug. Terminals supported by the jack contact connector housing each include a spring contact portion exposed in the first socket for engagement by an inserted plug and an insulation displacement contact portion for convenient connection with various sizes and types of conductors used with the telephone jack. The housing of the jack contact connector is provided with an integrally hinged cover portion serving both to enclose the insulation displacement contact portions and to provide strain relief for the telephone jack conductors.
