ALIGNMENT APPARATUS FOR USE IN THE JACK INTERFACE HOUSING OF A COMMUNICATION PLUG

摘要

An apparatus for preventing misalignment of a plurality of electrically conductive blades for use in a jack interface housing element of a communication plug. The apparatus comprises a locating bar fixedly mounted within the housing. Each blade is engineered with a bifurcated end to form an alignment notch that complements the shape of the locating bar. Thus, aligning the blades for electri cal communication with a plurality of jack springs merely requires mating the alignment notches in the blades with the locating bar.
