ABSTRACT:
The unassembled patch connector comprises multiple or a single, housing (prefereably molded) having a centrally located hinge or other positive locating features for joining the two oppositely disposed housing portions. The housing portions are snapped together to define a substantially rectangular housing having two, four, six or eight openings on a front face thereof for accessing terminals from a terminal block; and at least one other opening on the back face thereof for entry and exit of a cable or individual wires. The interior of the housing is provided with cavities for retaining isolated conductors, these conductors communicating with the back face opening for electrical and mechanical connection with insulated wire and communicating with the front face opening for electrical and mechanical connection with terminals from a terminal block. Among other applications, the patch connector may be used as a means to electrically connect multiple stranded or solid wires on terminals of a terminal block such as a 66-type terminal block used in the telephone industry.
