A connector for terminating flat ribbon cable composed of flexible electrical insulation and retaining a plurality of electrically isolated, parallel conductors. The connector includes a housing that defines a slot for receiving an end of a flat ribbon cable to be terminated and comprises a base that defines a row of contact receptacles extending transversely to the slot and aligned with individual conductors in the cable. Also comprising the housing is a cover adapted for mating engagement with the base and defining catch wall portions extending transversely to the cable slot. Retained by each of the receptacles is a contact having a head portion having cutting edges shaped and arranged to receive and penetrate the insulation surrounding a different conductor in the cable and to make electrical contact therewith. The contacts also include latch portions for engaging and fastening the cover of the housing to the base. Included in each latching portion is a tab extending substantially longitudinally of the slot and parallel to the cable conductors and arranged to engage the catch wall portion of the cover. |
