ABSTRACT:
In a connector half, substantially parallel transverse walls joined by perpendicular sides to provide a substantially rectangular cross-section to receive at least one flat connector wafer inserted therein in a forward axial direction. A transverse rib is formed on an upper face of a wafer facing an inner face of a transverse wall. A spring clip cantilevered of the inner face of the connector half is provided. When the wafer is inserted in the connector half, the rib acts as a cam against the spring clip, forcing the spring clip up. The spring clip returns to abut the rear of the rib as the wafer is pushed into position to retain the wafer in the connector half. The rib may be provided with recess for meshing with axial keys on the inner surface of the connector half. A tool is provided for camming the spring clip and allowing removal of the wafer.
