ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector assembly is disclosed for terminating multiple conductor cable and, in particular, tri-lead cable. The connector assembly includes a housing having mating top and bottom members molded from rigid insulator material and joined together along one edge by a hinge of resilient insulating material. The housing members define therebetween a pair of contact cavities and at least one cable entry passage leading to the cavities. Top and bottom contacts are inserted into the contact cavities of the respective housing members with portions of the contacts exposed to make an insulation piercing connection with the respective conductors of the cable. Both contacts have opposite end portions adapted to mate with further electrical terminating means. The contacts within the mated housing members can also be probed for electrical continuity.
