Abstract
A phone plug having axially aligned discrete first and second conductive surfaces thereon which are assembled to conductors without the use of tools comprises a tip member, a dielectric plug body, a tubular sleeve, and a grip. The tip member is inserted into a bore in the plug body to terminate one of the conductors inserted from the opposite end and the sleeve is slid over the plug body to terminate the other conductor. A grip is then slid over the assembly to lock the sleeve in position and provide strain relief for the cable. An alternative embodiment may be terminated to conductors having standard electrical terminals.
