ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a plurality of terminals, each terminal including a contact leaf portion and an insulation displacement portion generally perpendicular to the contact leaf portion. An elongated insulating housing includes a plurality of receptacles for receiving the terminals with the insulation displacement portions exiting the housing for displacing the insulation of a plurality of insulated conductors outside the housing. The housing has a plurality of channels extending from the receptacles for receiving the contact leaf portions of the terminals. The channels have flanges only partially closing the channels over the distal ends of the contact leaf portions to prevent the contact leaf portions from lifting out of the channels. The housing also has platforms for supporting bottom sides of the insulation displacement portions of the terminals. A mounting block is mounted on top of the housing and includes a plurality of outward projections for supporting the top sides of the insulation displacement portions of the terminals. The mounting block includes troughs in alignment with the outward projections for receiving the insulated conductors.
