ABSTRACT ELECTRICAL TERMINATION SYSTEM AND CONNECTOR MEMBER An electrical connector socket, e.g. for a tele- phone line jack, has an insulative body, a cover plate, and contact members. Each contact member has an insu- lation displacement (ID) contact at one end and a flex- ible contact for contacting the plug at the other. The contact member is of strip form, and is bent near the ID contact to be accommodated in a recess in a wall section of the body. The contact member is also bent around the front edge of the wall section and is thus secured on the wall section by its own resilience. The cover plate is used to push the conductors onto the ID contacts. A ribbon cable can be placed onto the slightly grooved but essentially flat upper effective surface of the plate and pushed straight onto the ID contacts. If individual wires are to be terminated, however, the in- dividual wires are pulled down into slanting retaining slots formed at the front and rear edges of a planar surface. Each wire is thus held fixed in position across the plate while the subsequent wires are positioned. The sockets can be connected in parallel on a ribbon connec- tor (Figure 7) with the cable following a serpentine path through the sockets so as to connect the sockets in a "daisy chain" configuration, with the front ends of the sockets side by side in a common plane.
