ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector housing assembly consists of an insulating housing and a pair of insulating covers. The housing has a row of cavities extending diagonally across a central wall of the housing, each for receiving an electrical terminal having slotted plate portions with wire receiving slots opening in opposite directions and being located on opposite surfaces of the central wall. Each cover has a row of notches extending across a base wall of the cover, for receiving the end portion of a respective one of the slotted plates. According to a first mode of use, the slotted plates of each terminal are coplanar with each other and the covers are mated with the housing to drive the wires of flat flexible cables, into the wire receiving slots of the terminals with the two cables extending parallel to each other. According to a second mode of use, the slotted plates of each terminal, are twisted about a neck of the terminal so that the slotted plates thereof extend at right angles to each other. For this mode of use, one of the covers is mated with the housing in a second angular orientation which is orthogonal with respect to the first angular orientation, the cables extending at right angles to each other, according to the second mode.
