ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a board mounted electrical connector for terminating the free end of a flat round conductor cable to post terminals mounted on the board. The connector includes a housing having a cable receiving end and opposed mating end, with a bottom wall having a board engaging surface extending therebetween. Extending parallel to the board engaging surface, between the conductor receiving and mating end is a plurality of wire and terminal receiving cavities which have an open top, communicating with a top surface of the connector housing. Terminals received in the cavities have a wire engaging portion with insulation piercing barbs, and an opposed pin engaging portion with an integrally formed cantilever spring finger. When loaded into the housing, the wire engaging portion of the terminal terminates wire conductors received at one end of the cavity while the pin engaging portion is positioned adjacent pin receiving passageways located adjacent the mating end of the housing. As the connector is lowered onto an upper surface of the printed circuit board, post-like terminals mounted on the board are received in the pin receiving passageways to make sliding contact with the cantilevered spring fingers.
