ABSTRACT:
A jack assembly for termination of a plurality of telephone wires includes a housing defining an opening for receiving a standard telephone plug. A contact pin carrier is mounted to the housing and supports eight contact pins having insulation displacement portions. The contact pin carrier further includes a contact protection block formed around the insulation displacement portions of the eight contact pins. A termination cap has telephone wire engagement portions that secure the telephone wires in conductive engagement with the insulation displacement portions of the contact pins. The termination cap further includes two end walls, each disposed in opposed alignment with a respective side wall of the contact protection block. The side walls of the termination cap may be interlocked to the contact protection block to retain the termination cap in an assembled position.
