ABSTRACT:
A wire organizer for bundling discrete insulated wires in a cable configuration for mass insertion into an electrical ballast connector. The wire organizer includes a lower housing assembly (20) having a wire yoke (26) mounted across the bottom wall, the yoke (26) being formed with an array of notches (27) spaced thereacross each for seating a corresponding discrete wire (10). A pair of flanking teeth (29) are provided in each notch (27) for gripping the insulated section (14) of the wire inserted therein. An upper housing assembly (40) mates with the lower housing assembly (20) to cover the wire yoke (26), thereby capturing the plurality of discrete wires (10) in their respective notches (27). A similar second wire yoke (30) may be provided for supplemental seating of the wires (10) along their insulated sections (14). The wire organizer facilitates mass insertion of the wires (10) into the mating ballast connector (60), and it shrouds, protects, and provides strain relief to the wire terminations in the ballast connector (60). Since the wires (10) are terminated only once in the ballast connector, the need for terminal contacts in the wire organizer is eliminated and the cost is significantly reduced.
