Abstract
A bridging link for connecting terminals in an electrical terminal device in which a body of the link provides a plug body for insertion into a telephone jack. Electrically conductive lines extend from terminal positions in the plug body to terminal positions spaced from the plug body. The conductive lines may be electrically conductive strips extending through passages which are preferably open at one side for lateral insertion of the strips. A latch arrangement is advantageously used to connect the link to the telephone jack and the latch arrangement is spaced from the plug body.
