ABSTRACT:
A multi-conductor flat cable connector having a base carrying insulation stripping contact elements, a cover and a pair of metal latching legs retained on the cover. The base has cover guides at its ends which slidably mate with the ends of the cover and the latching legs latch the cover to the base in an open position to accept the flat cable and a closed position where conductors of the cable are connected by the contact elements. A pair of shearable latch stops, one at each end of the base, are contacted by portions of the latching legs when the connector is in an open position to hold the connector in the open position. The latch stops are sheared by the latching legs as the base and cover are forced together to connect a flat cable between them.
