Electrical connectors (18 and 20) each having one row of electrical terminals (2), are joined together in end to end relationship by slugs (28) formed integrally with end walls (30) of the connectors (18 and 20). Lead receiving portions (4) of the terminals (2) of both of the connectors (18 and 20) are loaded with electrical leads (L), which extend therefrom in the same direction. The slugs (28) are then removed so as to separate the connectors (18 and 20). Dovetail cross section ribs (46) on a side wall (42) of one connector (20) are then slid into complementary grooves (44) in a side wall (42) of the other connector (18) so as to couple the connectors (18 and 20) together in back to back relationship, with the leads (L) projecting from opposite sides of the composite two row connector so provided. The invention enables the leads to be loaded into the connectors (18 and 20) by means of a lead loading apparatus which is capable of loading electrical connectors only from one side thereof. |
