ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically connecting the conductors of a flat ribbon-type cable arranged in a first configuration to the contacts of a standard connector arranged in a second configuration comprises a housing receiving a plurality of substantially identical contacts. Each contact comprises a conductor terminating end connected to a contact mating end by a deformable intermediate portion. The contacts are received within the housing, and the contact mating ends thereof are held in the first configuration for mating with standard connector. The conductor terminating ends of the conductor are formed to the second configuration by installing a cover to the connector, the cover having a plurality of tapered contact forming apertures, each guiding a respective conductor terminating end therethrough.
