An electrically conductive bridging connector to permit stacking electronic jacks which have wire-wrap posts disposed in pairs forming a double row and corresponding pin receiving receptacles. The connector has an electrically nonconductive body with a housing having housing walls, a blade member and tooth members forming an "egg crate" structure to separate the wire-wrap posts and has spring contacts to make electrical contact with the posts on one jack and corresponding pins to be received by a second jack. A nonconductive bridging insulator of similar construction permits temporary stacking of jacks while electrical connection is made to a new jack. Methods of utilizing the bridging insulator and the bridging connector are also disclosed to facilitate retermination of cable connecting to electronic equipment such as remreed line-link or trunk-link network electronic switching system telephone equipment.
