A network interface device includes a plug section pivotally attached to a jack section. The plug section includes a pair of terminals which form a portion of an insulation displacement connector. The upper end of each terminal has a pair of tines to which a wire may be connected. The terminals are installed into the plug section in the same direction as the direction of the downward forces applied to the tines of the terminals when connecting a wire thereto. The downward forces are borne by a stop shoulder on each terminal which engages an abutment on the plug section. This prevents the terminals from being inadvertently dislodged from the surrounding plug section. Thus, the terminals will remain properly positioned within the plug section when wires are forced onto the terminals.
