Abstract
A double-ended connector receptacle for end-to-end connection of modular plugs. Conductors extend longitudinally in channels in a frame and are bent around the frame to form spring contacts whose alignment is maintained by barrier walls extending from the frame. The connector is assembled by telescopic insertion of the frame into a tubular sheath which firmly retains the frame by latching and biasing mechanisms which are integral to the frame and the sheath. Both parts are designed to be produced in straight action molds.
