Abstract
A conducting terminal of a telephone cord plug, which has two claws with a pair of opposite inclined surfaces capable of closely clamping the inner copper wire of the telephone cord jack for current-conduction with minimum damage to the copper wire when inserted into the telephone cord jack, is disclosed. A middle projecting tang or member is also provided between the above two claws so as to only pierce through the outer cover of the telephone cord for enhancing the association of the conducting terminal with the telephone cord jack. A plurality of projecting detents are also defined upon the conducting terminal so as to engage the guide plates of the jack, thereby preventing seperation of the conducting terminal from the jack.
