ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement connector has a pivotably attached cap with a centrally positioned latch positioned between the lead wire receiving holes of the connector. The connector has two terminals. Each terminal has an upper portion including a pair of upwardly projecting members. The terminals each have a lower portion connectable to respective first and second plug wires. The connector has a housing. The housing has a lower portion. The lower portion has first and second openings in which the terminals are seated. An upper portion is pivotably attached to the lower portion of the housing. The upper portion of the housing includes two lead wire receiving holes. The upper portion of the housing has an open position for insertion of lead wires in the holes, and a closed position for connecting the upwardly projecting members of the first and second terminals to the respective lead wires. A single latch is positioned between the first and second holes, for maintaining the upper portion of the housing in the closed position. The connector may be included in a bridge assembly. The connector is mounted on a base. The base has an RJ11 jack capable of receiving an RJ11 plug. The RJ11 plug is connected to respective ends of the plug wires opposite the terminals. The base has a type-645 jack for receiving a type-645 plug which is connected to an external network. The type-645 jack is positioned so that the RJ11 plug is electrically connected to the type-645 plug when the RJ11 plug is inserted in the RJ11 jack and the 645 plug is inserted in the 645 jack.
