Connector for ribbon cable - has screwed metal terminals in block for connection to ends of wires

摘要

A connector for flat ribbon cable (11) has a terminal block (13) with a series of apertures (33) that receive solid metal terminals (14). The underside of each terminal has spikes (26). When the block is clamped to a base (12) by the tightening of screws (16), the spikes engage the conducting tracks of the ribbon cable to provide good electrical contact. Each terminal has a projecting section (14) that allows wires to be clamped in position. ADVANTAGE - Allows wires to be connected to flat ribbon cable.
