ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed for terminating a plurality of insulated electrical wires and which includes a dielectric housing having a mating end and a wire-receiving end with a plurality of open-ended terminal-receiving cavities communicating therebetween. A plurality of terminals respectively are disposed in the cavities. Each terminal includes a mating end near the mating end of the housing, a wire-receiving end near the wire-receiving end of the housing and an axially collapsible insulation-displacement section therebetween. A dielectric cover is positionable against the housing at the wire-receiving end thereof. The cover has a plurality of wire-receiving openings aligned with the wire-receiving cavities in the housing. A plurality of pusher members are movably mounted on the cover at the openings therein for movement between inoperative positions and operative positions for collapsing the insulation-displacement sections of the terminals to slice through the insulation of the electrical wires. Therefore, any one of the pusher members can be moved independent of the other pusher members for selectively terminating the individual insulated electrical wires.
