ABSTRACT:
An improved ribbon cable connector is described for providing connection between an electrical device and a ribbon cable. Receptacle modules and a splice module having identical outer dimensions are provided for insertion into the cover of a receptacle tap. Each receptacle module contains receptacle sites for insertion of pins from an electrical device. Each receptacle site of the receptacle module is connected to an insulator displacement pin that is used to establish a connection with a conductor of a ribbon cable. A splice module connects pairs of insulator displacement pins together so that two different ribbon cables can be connected together in an efficient manner. Alignment projections on both the receptacle and splice modules allow for precise positioning of the insulator displacement pins within each module with the conductors of the ribbon cable.
