ABSTRACT:
Terminating apparatus for a flat conductor cable including a plurality of generally coplanar individual conductors. The terminating apparatus includes a generally rectangular insulation housing having an array of longitudinally extending apertures with mutually parallel and coplanar axes. A box contact assembly is positioned within each housing aperture and includes a contact tail for simultaneously providing a secure structural and electrical connection to an associated one of the plurality of individual conductors and a contact nose for providing a releasable electrical connection to another associated one of a plurality of mating conductors. Each box contact assembly is fashioned with a resilient locking lance which operates in cooperation with a recess fashioned within one wall of each aperture within the insulation housing to releasably maintain the conductor cable within the insulation housing. Each box contact assembly is further fashioned with a generally U-shaped section including a relatively long leg which operates in cooperation with a recess in each housing aperture to ensure proper polarization or orientation of the flat conductor cable within the insulation housing.
