Patent attributes
A field termination plug includes a contact retainer, a plug housing, a terminal connection unit, and a cover pivotally connectable to the plug housing. The plug housing includes a front portion and an accommodation portion. The terminal connection unit has contacts and piercing terminals electrically coupled to the respective contacts. When the plug housing carries the terminal connection unit and the contact retainer is attached to the front portion, the contacts are disposed on the front portion for electrical coupling to a network jack and the piercing terminals are disposed upward on the accommodation portion. When the cover is pivoted to an open position, the piercing terminals are exposed for disposition of a wire organizer for attachment of the wires. The cover pivoted to a closed position presses the wire organizer such that the wires attached to the wire organizer are terminated to the respective piercing terminals.
