ABSTRACT:
A unipartite housing for a modular connector for terminating flat cords having a plurality of conductors enclosed within a jacket. The housing has a cord receiving cavity formed therein defining a forward conductor receiving portion and a rearward jacket receiving portion, the conductor receiving portion having a plurality of parallel conductor receiving troughs provided therein. A corresponding plurality of slots are provided in aligned relationship with the troughs which receive flat contact terminals which electrically couple with respective conductors. Jacket and conductor anchoring members are provided in respective openings which communicate with the cord receiving cavity adapted to be pivotally moved into engaging relationship with the jacket and conductors respectively. The anchoring members have respective jacket and conductor engaging surfaces in which a plurality of longitudinally extending, parallel channels are formed, each of the channels being substantially vertically aligned over a respective trough so that upon pivotal movement of the anchoring members into cord engaging relationship, the effective line contact in cross-section of the conductors and the engaging surfaces is significantly increased thereby greatly improving the integrity of the affixation of the cord to the connector.
