Abstract: An electrically conductive terminal strip for a dual sided wiring connector for maintaining a tip-ring telephone wire orientation standard. The terminal strip is disposed of within a dual sided connector which is mounted on a hinged surface. When the hinged surface is rotated about the hinge axis, the tip-ring orientation is preserved.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of at least two contact pairs (1, 2; 3, 4) for compensation of near-end crosstalk, in which one or both contacts (1, 2 or 3, 4) of a contact pair (1, 2; 3, 4) are designed to be angled away once or more than once from a contact region (5), with the result that the contacts (1, 2 and 3, 4) then run parallel once more and the distance between the contacts (1, 3 and 2, 4) of different contact pairs is designed such that crosstalk which is in antiphase with the contact region (5) is produced.

Abstract: A safety receptacle includes a base (10) formed with a circular depression (11) and two opposite cavities (18) one at a side of the depression, two conducting members (19) each fitted into a respective one of the cavities of the base, a rotary head (20) being a tubular member formed with a top having two parallel slots (20), a pair of opposite flanges (24) extending outwardly from two opposite sides of the tubular member, a block (28) depending downwardly from a central portion of a lower side of the top, and two vertical slots at two opposite sides of the tubular member, a positioning member (17) having an upper end fixedly fitted in the block of the rotary head and a lower end engaged with the recess, two terminals (22) each inserted into a respective one of the vertical slots along the two legs and provided with an inwardly extending tongue (221) , and a cover (30) fixedly mounted on the base and having a circular opening for receiving the top of the rotary head, whereby rotation of the plug (40) through 9

Abstract: A single piece electrical receptacle terminal comprises a pair of L-shaped contact arms disposed in opposed diagonal fashion for receiving a complementary pin terminal therein. A locking lance (52) is provided on a wall extension (50) that overlies a top wall (14) of the contact. The wall extension (40) is securely crimped to the top wall (14) in order to rigidify the box-shaped base section (8) of the contact. The provision of a locking lance (52) on the wall extension integral with the contact body ensures a single piece contact design requiring low material usage. The locking lance (52) is provided with the requisite flexibility by the double elasticity of the lance (52) itself and the adjacent support arms (58).
