ABSTRACT:
A phone jack assembly comprising a piggy-back array of two phone jack housings made of moldable dielectric material and having integral walls defining respective axial cavities wherein a phone jack plug may be inserted; and a plurality of pairs of wire terminals extending downwardly from the lower housing of the array for insertion into respective apertures in a connecting device. Each of the wire terminals is recessed within a respective groove molded into the outer side surfaces of the housings and one of each pair has a portion extended into a cavity of one of the housing for electrical engagement with a portion of a phone jack plug inserted into the cavity. Also each of the wire terminals is provided with a laterally bent portion for pressingly engaging side wall surfaces of the respective groove to support the wire terminal when being inserted into or withdrawn from said respective aperture in the connecting device. The lower housing of the array may have an upper surface provided with a ridge which fits snugly into a channel in the lower surface of the overlying housing in the array; and some of the wire terminals recessed in said groove extend over the top surface of the upper housing in the array to aid in holding the housings of the array together as an assembly when being mated to or disconnected from said connector device.
