An electrical connector assembly is disclosed for terminating a flat transmission cable. The assembly comprises a body having forwardly disposed terminal members seated in oppositely facing surfaces thereof for terminating the cable conductors, and a pair of hermaphroditic connector covers for intended assembly over the oppositely facing body surfaces. Each cover is configured having a transverse tapered ridge extending thereacross at a rearward end thereof, and a transverse recess continuing thereacross in colinear alignment with the ridge. The ridge and recess of one cover are located in compliment to the recess and ridge of the opposite cover, and upon positioning the flat cable between rearward portions of the covers and swinging the covers into a mutually parallel relationship, the connector cover ridges deform a cable portion therebetween to adopt the profile of the intercover space and thereby effectuate secure clamping engagement between the covers and the flat transmission cable.
