ABSTRACT:
A flat cable connector for terminating respective individual conductors of first and second flat cables stacked in overlapping relationship one above the other has a cable connecting face which is stepped to provide lower and upper for corresponding termination zones and a first and second series of terminals anchored in the housing and having pressure connecting portions protruding into such zones for connection to the first and second flat cables, respectively, with conductor connecting portions of some of the terminals of the second series upstanding, unsupported, from the lower level. A first cable engaging cover member is formed with guide surfaces providing guiding engagement with unsupported lengths of the second series of conductor connecting portions during termination movement, obviating risk of damage and deformation thereof. The step may be a separately formed insert mounted on the housing prior to termination, thereby simplifying manufacture and assembly of terminals in the housing.
