ABSTRACT:
An IDC type terminator (10) includes a housing (12) having a plurality of passageways (18) extending therethrough in the vertical direction. A plurality of contacts (20) are respectively received within the corresponding passageways (18). The upper and lower portions of the contacts (20) respectively and oppositely extending out of the housing (12) wherein the upper portions engage the PC board (15) which vertically stands on the housing (12), and the lower portions engage the corresponding flat cable (34) which is sandwiched between a bottom cover (16) and the housing (12). Opposite to the bottom cover (16), a top cover (14) is attached to the housing (12) for shielding the PC board (15) therein. A pair of cavities (22) are positioned on two opposite ends of the housing (12) so that the latches (58, 64) of the top cover (12) and of the bottom cover (14) may commonly but oppositely side by side occupy the corresponding cavity (22). Therefore, the latch (58) of the bottom cover (16) can be hooked against the inner shoulder (52) of the housing (12), and the latch (64) of the top cover (14) can be hooked against the bottom surface (42) of the housing (12) wherein once the top cover (14) and the bottom cover (16) have been completely and actually reach their fixed positions regard to the housing (12), the latches (58, 64) of the top cover (14) and of the bottom cover (16) can not be released from their locking positions so that the housing (12), the top cover (14) and the bottom cover (16) are reliably assembled together as one piece without risk of dissembling.
