3. DISASSEMBLY: Place plug on edge as shown. Push down and back on metal lip on finger (inside notch) with small screwdriver and slip plug finger out of handle. Turn plug over over and repeat for other finger.
4. CABLE INSTALLATION: Fold braided shield on cable back over insulation. Insert leads through rear of plug finger, and screw finger (clockwise) onto cable with twisting motion until lead terminations lineup with threaded tip and/or ring openings. Fasten terminals on both fingers with screws provided.
To bridge sleeves (common connection), place free end of braided shield in remaining finger sleeve opening. Press sleeve plug firmly in place.
5. ASSEMBLY: Align grooves in fingers with internal handle ribs and insert fingers into rear of handle. Push fingers in until lips or rear of fingers snap into notches on handle.TT261: Two electrically-independent 2-conductor fingers in a black handle.

FEATURES
Miniature telephone twin plugs with two 2-conductor or two 3-conductor fingers, designed to mate with TT Twin-Jax®, TT-Jax®, and other phone jacks with a .176 inch inside diameter bushing and compatible tip and ring springs. Approximately 1/2 the size of standard phone plugs; yet retains uniformity, dependability of high-quality phone plugs. The phone plugs are exceptionally light, small and rugged. Plug fingers can easily be removed and replaced.
* Minimum Space: Plugs fit .313 inch centers, horizontally
or vertically.
* Self-Aligning: Plug fingers compensate for minor
variations in jack spacing.
* Polarizing: Handle notches identify location of each finger.
* Tip Monitoring: Handle ports permit probe insertion
to monitor tip circuits.
* Terminating and Looping Plugs: OEMs can fabricate
cross-wired plugs, i.e., tip-to-sleeve, tip-to-ring, etc.,
according to individual requirements. OEMs can also wire-
in resistors, RCL networks, etc. for standard and special
terminating applications. Switchcraft will build looping and
terminating TT-Twin Plugs on special order, where
quantities warrant.
* Sleeve Plugs: For looping, terminating and single cable
applications, sleeve plugs seal off unused handle open-
ing(s). Sleeve plugs also make a bridged (common) sleeve
connection by holding braided shield in place in second
plug.On special order, TT-Twin Plugs can be supplied
with one 2-conductor finger and one 3-conductor finger.
* Ease of Assembly/Disassembly: Refer to illustration
below for assembly/disassembly procedure; no handle
retaining screws required. Tip and ring terminations are
screw-type screws supplied).
SPECIFICATIONS
Tip Rod, Ring, Sleeve and Body: Copper alloy,
natural finish.
Terminals and Terminal Screws: Copper alloy,
natural finish.
Insulation: Thermoplastic.
