Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a phone plug assembly utilizes a shielded or two-connecter cable. A conductive tip is concentrically received in an insulator. One conductor of the cable electrically connects to a stem of the tip. The other conductor of the cable electrically connects to a conductive sleeve that concentrically receives a portion of the insulator. When a shielded cable is utilized with the phone plug assembly, an exposed section of a conductive shield can receive a metal band or metal tape. The sleeve is crimped about the metal band or metal tape to provide the electrical connection between the sleeve and the exposed section of the conductive shield. The conductive shield can also be folded back about a cable jacket and received within a portion of the sleeve. The sleeve is then crimped in alignment with the folded exposed section to enhance the electrical connection.

Abstract: An angle connected phone plug (10) for connection to a coaxial electrical cable (11) without screws or other mechanisms includes a tip and wire assembly (20), a housing assembly (40) and a terminal assembly (60), all disposed coaxially along longitudinal axis (100) of phone plug (10), and a substantially cylindrically shaped barrel (80) having its own longitudinal axis 110 along which coaxial electrical cable (11) enters phone plug (10). The housing assembly (40) includes a housing base (41) and a mating housing cap (42), which when mated present a threaded neck (49) at an angle to longitudinal axis (100). Barrel (80) is coupled to threaded neck (49), thereby securing the housing assembly (40) closed.
