ABSTRACT:
A plurality of the terminals (42--42) are mounted in slots which open to an inner surface (75) of a well (78) of a housing (41) of a modular plug (23) to terminate conductors (22--22) of an end of accordage (21) that has been secured within the housing. The slots communicate with a cavity in which are disposed conductors of the cordage. Each terminal includes a body portion (84) having first and second ends (87 and 88). Internal contacting portions in the form of tangs (92--92) protrude from the body portion and engage electrically the conductors of the cordage. An external contact portion (94) of each terminal protrudes from and is disposed asymmetrically along the body portion between its ends. The external contact portion of each terminal is disposed between partitions (79--79) which extend from the inner surface of the well to an exterior surface of the housing or between such a partition and a sidewall of the housing. Because the partitions extend only from the termination end of the well toward the other end a distance that corresponds to the length of the external contact portions of the terminals, an insertion ram is able to contact simultaneously those surfaces of all the terminals which extend from the external contact portions to the other end of the well. The inner surface of the well acts as a positive stop for the insertion ram to cause the external contact portion of each terminal to be a required distance above the inner surface of the well.
