ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for insulation displacing termination of ribbon cable having insulated conductors in predetermined close centerline spacing. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating face, an opposed cable-receiving face and a plurality of terminal-receiving passages extending between the faces for receiving a plurality of terminals. Each terminal includes a mating portion toward the mating face and slotted U-shaped insulation displacement portion toward the cable-receiving face. The insulation displacement portions of the terminals are arranged staggered in at least two rows. A dielectric cover forces the conductors into the U-shaped insulation displacement portions and embraces the cable between the cover and the cable-receiving face of the housing. The cover includes a surface for engaging the cable and recesses in the surface for receiving the U-shaped insulation displacement portions of the terminals. The surface of the cover defines a plurality of parallel conductor support channels. Each channel defines upper and lower conductor support levels arranged such that a lower conductor support level of one channel is between two upper conductor support levels of adjacent channels. Projections are formed in each channel to hold a respective conductor therein. Therefore, the ribbon cable can be pressed into the conductor support channels of the cover and held on the cover for subsequent termination of the cable to the terminals on the connector housing.
