Abstract:
1. An electrical jack cable assembly comprising a jack cable connector and an adaptor coupling for attaching the jack cable connector to a support of which the adaptor coupling may be an integral part, the jack cable connector having an electric cable and an electric terminal that is attached to an end of the electric cable, an end of the electric cable and the attached electric terminal being disposed in a connector body so that the electric cable enters a rear end of the connector body with the electrical terminal facing forward to be able to receive an electric plug-in connector when moved in a plug-in direction, the adaptor coupling having a tray that has side walls and a rear wall, means for retaining the connector body in the tray so that the rear wall resists any movement of the connector body with respect to the adaptor coupling in the plug-in direction, wherein the adaptor coupling has a face plate and a socket at a forward end that extends rearwardly from an opening in the face plate to an abutment wall that is intermediate the face plate and the rear wall of reduced height, and the abutment wall having a through hole for receiving the electric terminal so as to protrude into the socket from a portion of the tray behind the abutment wall.
