ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for terminating a plurality of wires (4) includes a housing (10) which holds a plurality of insulation displacement contacts (52) that are associated with respective ones of the wires. The contacts are arranged in two spaced-apart rows (55, 56). A fixture (16) is pivotally connected to the housing. The fixture has an array of first slots (82) and an array of second slots (86). The arrays of slots are spaced-apart. The first slots (82) are axially aligned with respective ones of the second slots (86) to define pairs of axially aligned spaced-apart slots. The wires (4) can be laced into respective ones of the pairs of slots (82, 86) when the fixture (16) is in an open position, and the slots are arranged such that the wires become terminated to respective ones of the contacts (52) when the fixture is pivoted to a closed position.
