A ballast assembly facilitates alternative wiring configurations via the use of one or more dual-port connectors with corresponding insulating covers. The dual-port connectors provide a choice of wiring options, and the insulating cover provides the protection of the connector from the ingress of materials during the manufacturing process. In a preferred embodiment, the insulating cover is configured to reduce the potential of damage, to people or equipment, during the assembly of a lighting fixture containing this ballast assembly, and is also configured to provide the electrical isolation and protection required or desired for safety concerns. In a preferred embodiment, the insulating connector forms access regions about each port of the dual connector that are physically and electrically isolated from one another, and physically and electrically isolated from the access holes in the enclosure material, which is typically sheet metal.
