ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided for terminating a multi-conductor, flexible cable of the flat ribbon type which has a plurality of conductors in side-by-side parallel, spaced relationship within a web of encapsulating insulation from which projects a pre-stripped, bare, distal end portion of each conductor. The connector includes a housing defining a passage extending from an open first end to an open second end. The housing includes divider walls defining a plurality of slots each opening outwardly and each communicating with the passage at the second end. The housing has a support wall defining a bottom in each slot. An insulated length of cable can extend through the open first end of the housing passage toward the open second end where each bare, distal end portion of the conductor can be exposed and bent in one of the slots around the support wall adjacent a bottom of a slot.
