ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector for terminating a low current multi-wire telephone cord of the like is comprised of a one piece dielectric housing having a cord receiving aperture with a plurality of terminal receiving slots extending between the aperture and a first or top exterior surface of the connector. The connector includes a recess operatively associated with the slots and extending from the aperture toward the exterior surface of the connector opposite the first or top exterior surface. Individual terminal blades of simplified configuration are positioned within the slots and have a wire contact portion adapted to pass through the longitudinal plane of the aperture into the recess. As the terminals are pressed into the housing for making electrical contact with the wires of the cord, they engage the wires of the cord and bend the wires out of the plane of the aperture and into the recess while simultaneously providing the requisite electrical contact. This positively locks the individual wires in place within the connector at each terminal making it virtually impossible to separate the cord from the connector even when the jacket of the cord of the insulative covering on the wire is not firmly anchored. The structure provides both a positive electrical connection between the terminal and the wire core and a secure mechanical interlock between the terminal, the wire and the housing of the connector plug.
