ABSTRACT:
An electrical component mounting and connection assembly for direct connection to a connecting wire cable includes a base member having a cavity and wire-receiving slots into which the electrical leads of a sensor, such as a magnetically actuated reed switch, and the wires of the connecting cable are positioned. A cooperating insert member includes insulation displacing contacts and latching structures to physically latch the insert member and base member together to allow the insulation displacing contacts to establish electrical contact with the slot-retained wire conductors. The circuit wires follow a path to an exterior surface of the assembly to allow direct electrical probing of the wire ends to test the circuit components and their connections. In the preferred embodiment, the base member and insert define cooperating `snap` together parts that allow time and cost efficient connection of the sensor device assemblies at the point of installation.
