ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector module having flexible sidewall bridges and sidewall shoulders for snap mounting the module in a panel, a tool for inserting wires in the module and a connector panel mount is disclosed. The module is formed from a plurality of subhousings arranged in two rows with each subhousing supporting a split cylinder concentrically therein. The subhousings include diametrically opposed slots with one wire engaging lipped slot aligned with the slot in the split cylinder and the other slot aligned with a cutting blade provided on the split cylinder diametrically opposed to the split cylinder slot. Each of the subhousing slots are aligned transversely to the rows and paralled with one another such that a series of wires may be laid side by side in parallel in the subhousing slots over the split cylinder for insertion by a tool in another series of operations. The housings are snap mounted in a panel member which includes an aperture sized to receive the housing. A bracket demountably supports the panel member in a spaced relationship with a supporting surface. The tool includes a central post member sized to fit inside the split cylinders and a concentric outer member sized to fit around the outside of the cylinder and inside the subhousings, and further includes a shoulder member for abuting against the end of the subhousing when fully inserted therein.
