An improved electrical connector and connector system is disclosed which allows for the simultaneous mass connection of multiple isolated electrical circuits through means of a single connector assembly. A standardized connector housing has multiple terminal cavities therein, each cavity being capable of containing one or more isolated electrical terminals of various disclosed configurations. The terminals disclosed are generally flat and have a slit therein from the top end to accept and hold an insulated wire in a range of gauges and make electrical connection to the conductive core of the wire upon force fitting of the wire into the slit. In one configuration the top portion of the terminals and the slit therein are centered on the terminal so that two terminals can be inserted into a single cavity and a single connecting wire can be easily aligned with, held by and electrically connected to both of the individual terminals. In a second configuration, the top portion and the slit is offset from the center of the terminal so that a different wire can easily be connected to each of the terminals in a single cavity.
