Electrical plug and a telecommunications distribution assembly comprising such a plug.

摘要

An electrical plug (42) for mating with a multi-contact female connector (8) on a telecommunications distribution panel, comprises electrical terminals (56) arranged in back-to-back relationship in compartments (60) of an insulating housing (44), each terminal having a wire receiving portion (47) and a contact blade (54).

So that the lateral dimensions of the plug (42) are small enough to allow a different plug (42) to be mated with each pair of contacts of the female connector, each terminal (56) is substantially uniplanar, the contact blades (54) being contained in channels in a H-section portion of the plug housing (44), the planes of the blades (54) being parallel with the side walls of the channels.
