ABSTRACT:
An electrical power connector including an insulator housing in which are mounted a plurality of conductive metal contacts each of which is provided with insulation displacement jaws for mechanically restraining and also making electrical contact with a corresponding plurality of insulated wires, each wire being terminated by forcing the same between a pair of contact jaws. The electrical connector is of a hermaphroditic design for mating with a like connector, so that each contact in one connector is electrically connected with a corresponding contact in a mating connector. The connector housing includes a hinged cover which insulates the contacts, and bosses formed on the inside of the hinged cover serve to retain the contacts and the wires terminated therein, and also serve as a tool for forcing individual insulated wires between the insulation displacement jaws of a corresponding contact.
