ABSTRACT:
A multi-contact electrical connector for electrically connecting a plurality of wires to a printed circuit board. The electrical connector includes an open topped housing having a plurality of contact chambers, wire holding sections, and terminal receiving bores, with the terminal receiving bores intersecting lower portions of the contact chambers and extending in parallel to the wire holding sections. Each wire holding section includes a securing arrangement such that the wire placed therein is securely held, and each of the contact chambers accommodates a contact member having a pair of spaced pressing elements, with a space between the pressing elements being narrower than a diameter of a conductor in the wires so that the insulating cladding or cover of the wire is penetrated by side ridges of the pressing elements to allow the conductor of the wire to make an electrical contact with the contact member. The contact member also includes an arrangment which enables the terminal inserted in the terminal receiving bore to be detachably held so as to ensure an electrical connection therebetween.
