Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector for a multi-conductor flat cable wherein the connector housing contains three rows of contacts. The contacts have termination sections which make electrical connections to the conductors of the flat cable by insulation displacing techniques. The termination sections of one row of contacts is higher than those of the other two rows of contacts. The contacts in the other two rows are staggered relative to each other. The flat cable is folded generally longitudinally to provide two layers. A cap is used to force the conductors of one layer of the flat cable into the two lower rows of termination sections, while a second cap is used to force the conductors of the other layer of the flat cable into the higher row of termination sections.
