摘要：A reusable carrier (20) for releasably retaining modular telephone jacks (32) isstamped and formed from a strip of metal and has a plurality of depending U-shapedclips (26) extending from an elongated carrier strip (22). The carrier strip (22) is generallyflat with a series of pilot holes (34) (see Fig. 1) and struck out, downwardly bent locatingprojections (40) (see Fig. 1) positioned in between adjacent pilot holes. One of the U-shaped clips (26, 28, 30) extends transversely from the carrier strip (22) adjacent each ofthe pilot holes (34, 36, 38) and is adapted to be releasably received within a plug receivingcavity (92) (see Fig. 4) of the jack. Each of the U-shaped clips (26, 28, 30) includes a bightportion (52) and opposed legs (54, 56) extending from the bight portion. Each of these
legs has a pair of oppositely curved friction springs (58, 60, 62, ) projecting outwardlyfrom the leg so as to frictionally engage interior side walls (82, 84) of the plug receivingcavity (92) when the jack is placed on the clip. A cantilevered spring latch (66) is formedfrom the bight portion (52) and includes a cam surface (68) at its free end for releasablyengaging a latch (114, 116) of the jack. The friction springs (58, 60, 62, ) and the springlatch (66) retain the jack (32) on the clip (26) and permit the removal of the jack (32) fromthe clip (26) upon the application of a withdrawal force on the jack. The carrier (20) maybe used in manufacturing, handling and/or installing jacks (32) and may be reused anumber of times.
