A multiconductor cable connector includes two identical longitudinally arranged box-like housings each having connector fittings at one end to pass a multiconductor cable into the housings. Each housing has male and female multiterminal connector openings on one face thereof, and spaced from one another. Protective covers are hinged to the housings and arranged to cover the connector openings. Springs in the hinges urge the covers to close over the connector openings. The covers are arranged to open in opposite directions. Cam surfaces are formed on facing end edges of the covers so that when the two housings are fitted perpendicularly together with respective spaces between covers facing one another and then a 90 DEG twisting motion is applied to bring opposite ends of the housings together, the cam surfaces on the covers on one housing engage the side walls of the other housing to force the covers into an open position to permit the mating connector openings to face one another and be pressed together into mating contact.
