Abstract
An adaptor enables telephones using the later type of miniature plugs to be used with the conventional telephone outlet. The adaptor has a housing having pins in the base which plug into the conventional outlet. The cover carries a miniature jack on the inside, the jack in two parts, upper and lower. The lower part is molded integral with the cover and defines a plug-receiving cavity. An aperture in the cover is aligned with this cavity. The upper part of the jack has contacts extending therethrough, the contacts bent down and round to extend rearwards in the cavity for contact by terminals in the jack. The contacts are connected to the pins in the base of the housing.
