Roller plugs (also known as roller plugs or plugs 27 ) have been used in Germany since the 1930s to connect telephones and teleprinters . They were installed until the 1960s and were later replaced by the junction box connector (ADoS). Roller plugs were also used in radio technology and could be found on the headset of the switchboard staff . The plug connection is very robust, reliable and convenient to use because it - like the jack plug - cannot be inserted incorrectly.

In Austria it was installed - possibly only after the " Anschluss " in 1938 - until the early 1970s and then replaced by the ADo-8. It was used for the chargeable option of having several sockets for one telephone with a whole connection. Otherwise, the device was permanently attached to a junction box and company connections to the auxiliary box.
