<p>A multicircuit electrical connector for mass terminating a plurality of insulation-clad wires includes a dielectric housing (12) with a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities (14) formed therein and a wall (16) adjoining the cavities. Wire-receiving regions (22) are formed in the wall (16), each for receiving a wire moved laterally of its axis into a respective cavity (14). Strain relief means (32, 34) are formed in the housing wall, one adjacent each wire-receiving region (22). Each strain relief means includes first and second resilient fingers (32, 34) offset from each other along a wire axis and constricting a wire-receiving entrance to a region (22). The first fingers (32) are mounted to the wall (16) for independent movement relative to their generally opposing second finger (34), and are independently movable with respect thereto, as wires are simultaneously introduced into said wire-receiving regions (22) during mass termination in said connector. </p> |
