BLOCO DE CONECTOR ELETRICO

摘要

An electrical connector block (10) for a flat ribbon cable having a plurality of conductors (14 to 17) lying side-by-side in an insulating ribbon (22) comprises a base (32) having a plurality of terminals (42 to 46) extending therethrough and lying in a plurality of rows. Each terminal (42 to 46) has an upper connection end and a lower insulation-piercing end. At least one terminal (42 to 46) is aligned with each conductor (14 to 17) in the ribbon (22) so that, when the base (32) is pressed against the ribbon, the terminals contact the conductors of the ribbon. Components can be connected between terminals (42 to 46) of each row and held on the base (32) for interconnecting conductors (14 to 17) in the ribbon (22) or connecting the conductors to ground. A top cover (30) includes a recess for covering the components and is engaged over the base (32) while a button cover (38) is engaged under the base and includes a plurality of slots (50) for accommodating any displacement of the ribbon (22) after it has been pierced by the insulation-piercing ends of the terminals (42 to 46).
