ABSTRACT:
A phone jack connector is described with which a multiple conductor cable can be connected to the lead frame inside the phone jack using insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) but without the use of a special tool. A yoke assembly for receiving the cable aligns the individual conductors with IDC's located on a conductor assembly having a lead frame electrically connected to the IDC's. A screw thread is located on a wall on the conductor assembly and can be engaged by a cable nut that fits around the yoke assembly. When the nut is manually rotated it forces the yoke assembly against the IDC's and thereby causes an electrical contact to be made between the conductors and the lead frame of the phone jack.
