ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal receptacle is disclosed, which is adapted to electrically interconnect each of a plurality of conductors in a flexible flat cable, ribbon cable, discrete wire cable or the like to respective ones of the posts in a post header. The receptacle includes a housing having a plurality of side-by-side chambers, and a sheet metal terminal positioned within each of the chambers, with each terminal being electrically connected to one of the conductors of the cable. The terminal includes a pair of spaced-apart contact surfaces, and the housing incudes three separate rows of apertures, with one of the apertures of each row of communicating with the area between the contact surfaces of each terminal, and such that the receptacle may be mounted to the post header in any one of three possible orientations. The contact surfaces of each terminal are shaped so as to form converging surfaces to the entering post in each of the three orientations, and such that the contact surfaces are resiliently spread apart to resiliently engage the post on two sides in any one of the three orientations.
