Abstract

A modular phone jack (10) includes an outer dielectric housing (12) having a plug-receiving opening (26) formed in a forward mating end (28) of the housing. An inner dielectric insert (14) is positionable in the housing. A plurality of elongated terminals (16) are fixed to the dielectric insert. Each terminal includes a contact portion (16b) at one end extending diagonally into the plug-receiving opening and a tail portion (16c) at the opposite end extending from the housing. A comb structure (22a) secures the tail portions to the housing at predetermined spaced locations. A method of fabricating the modular phone jack (10) according to the above structure is contemplated.
