<p>A slotted plate terminal has a first slot portion with parallel sides which axe spaced by a distance less than the sum of the diameters of two wires to be connected by means of the terminal and exceeding the diameter of either wire, and two second slot portions which diverge away from the first slot portion and each of which is of smaller width than the diameter of either of the two wires. When positioned in the first portion of the slot, the wires are necessarily at different levels. When the wires are forced towards the second slot portions the leading wire moves into one of the second slot portions and also serves to cam the trailing wire into the other of the two second slot portions. An electrical connector which utilises such terminals for the connection of multi-wire flat cable is also disclosed.</p> |
