ABSTRACT:
An improved method and connector are disclosed for terminating twisted pair and ribbon cable. The connector has a base with a plurality of terminals mounted therein with insulation displacing portions extending from one mating surface and a cover with a central slot and a plurality of parallel grooves extending away from each side of the slot on a mating surface. A multi-conductor flat cable is fed through the slot in the cover and the individual conductors are sorted and routed into grooves which assure a proper alignment of the conductors. The conductors are then terminated by application of the base to the cover with the insulation displacing portions of each terminal engaging the appropriate conductor. The conductors can be simultaneously or subsequently sheared along the edges of the connector to form a finished termination.
