Electrically-conductive universal connector and connector assembly

摘要

A universal connector having a terminal configuration which may accommodate at least a wire-wrap connection, an insulation displacement connector connection or a printed wiring board connection. The connector is a unitary body formed from a relatively thin, electrically-conductive material. The connector has a pair of tines protruding in side-by-side relationship from a base portion which can be used to make insulation displacement connections. A first tine of the pair of tines has a projecting end portion extending beyond a second tine. The projecting end portion is capable of forming an electrically-conductive connection with an electrical conductor. A connector assembly is also provided which includes an insulative mounting block and a plurality of universal connectors mounted thereon.
