ABSTRACT:
A connector for terminating the wires of a flat cable directly into slots in plate-like terminal portions of contacts which are contained in said connector and without the use of solder. Two or more rows of the slotted terminals are arranged on a flat bed surface of the connector housing with the said slotted terminals extending vertically upwardly from said bed surface and further with the slotted terminals in a first row being interleaved with the slotted terminals in the second row. In addition to the slotted plate-like terminals, each contact comprises a second terminal means, such as a female receptacle, for receiving a terminal post from an external source. The contacts are designed in two different configurations which enables the receptacle portion of a contact of a first configuration to be positioned directly over the receptacle portion of a contact of the second configuration, while permitting the slotted plate-like terminals to be interleaved on the bed surface of the connector housing. The wires of the cable are simultaneously moved downward into desired slots in a single motion to perform the gang termination of such wires.
