Abstract

Modular jack-type connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a rearward end and having a ledge extending beyond the rearward end from one of the housing sidewalls. The conductors are stamped and formed members which extend through channels in the external sidewall and through openings and into the plug-receiving opening of the housing. A plurality of side-by-side stalls are provided on the ledge and the conductors extend into these stalls, each conductor having a slotted plate-type wire-receiving means on its end locating within one of the stalls. Wires can be connected to the stamped and formed conductors by supporting the underside of the ledge on a suitable anvil and inserting the wires into the wire-receiving portions.
