An electrical connector which is particularly useful in conjunction with printed circuit boards is presented. The connector is easy to assemble and therefore entails relatively low manufacturing costs. The connector of this invention is also easy to operate, permits a multiplicity of wiring changes over the product life and takes up very little area on the printed circuit board. In accordance with the present invention, the electrical connector is comprised of three main insulative component parts including a housing, a cover received in the housing and a screw mechanism which is captured in the cover and which functions to raise and lower the cover within the housing. The connector of this invention additionally includes a plurality of electrically conductive insulation displacement (IDC) type terminals which are received through the housing and which cooperate with appropriate openings in the cover. Thus, when an individual wire lead is inserted into one of the openings in the cover, the screw mechanism is actuated forcing the cover downwardly against a terminal whereupon an individual wire lead is terminated in a known manner.
