Abstract
An electrical jack for telephones or the like is disclosed. The jack includes a box-like cover in which a number of bi-ended wires are mounted. Each wire terminates at one end in a spring contact adapted and located for engagement with a screw connector carried on a terminal block. At its other end, each wire terminates in a resilient folded spring contact. A clip member receives and mounts these folded spring contacts in a fixed, electrically spaced apart relationship. The clip is carried in the cover in such a location as to form part of a socket adapted to receive a multi-wire electrical plug.
