ABSTRACT:
A connector is disclosed which includes a base having a first and second surface and first and second rows of contacts, each having a conductor engaging portion upstanding from the aforementioned first surface. A cover is connected to the base and is movable between a first position in which clearance is provided between the conductor engaging portions of the contacts and the cover and a second position in which the conductors of a multiconductor cable inserted between the conductor engaging portions of the contacts and the cover are brought into electrical engagement with the conductor engaging portions of the contacts. Cable guide means are positioned between the first and second rows of contacts for guiding the multiconductor cable on its path of travel between the first and second rows of contacts. In an alternative embodiment, the cable guide means are temporarily inserted through the base to facilitate the insertion of the multiconductor cable through the connector and thereafter removed before the cover is moved to its second position.
