The two row electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a mating face, a wire-receiving face and oppositely directed endwalls and sidewalls extending between the faces. Two parallel rows of contact-receiving cavities extend from the wire-receiving face to the mating face, each cavity having a contact terminal therein. The housing comprises two parts, a housing body, and a separate housing cover. The cavities are provided on the housing body and the terminals have wire-receiving portions which are oriented such that they receive wires upon movement of the wires laterally towards the housing sidewalls and into the cavities. The housing cover is assembled to the housing by moving the cover over the mating face of the connector and towards the wire-receiving face. The terminals are assembled to the housing body by moving them laterally towards the housing body and the cavities have supporting means for supporting the wire-receiving portions of the terminals during movement of the wires into the wire-receiving portions.
