ABSTRACT:
The patch connector comprises separable upper and lower housing portions and a double detent structure for joining the two oppositely disposed housing portions. The housing portions are snapped together to define a housing having exposed contacts on a front face thereof for accessing terminals from a terminal block; and at least one opening on the back face thereof for entry and exit of a cable or individual wires. The interior of the housing is provided with structure for retaining isolated electrical connector clips. Among other applications, the patch connector may be used as a means to electrically connect multiple insulated wires on terminals of a terminal block.
