Abstract
A snap-in jack assembly for a multi-conductor communications jack allow a plurality of insulated conductors forced into associated insulation displacing contacts having conductor-cutting anvils to establish a mechanical and electrical joint with an insulated metallic conductor. The force performed by an impact tool having a cutting edge for severing a portion of the insulated conductor which extends beyond the jack lead frame. A series of anvils adjacent to the frame and to the insulation displacing contacts support the insulated conductor and insure a clean cut without injury to the conductor or insulation.
