<p>Multi-contact electrical connector comprises a housing and cover members. The housing has a mating end, a rearward end, and laterally facing sides which extend between the mating and rearward ends. Contact terminals are contained in the housing and arranged in parallel rows which extend across the laterally facing sides. Each terminal has a wire-receiving portion which is dimensioned to receive a wire and establish electrical contact therewith upon movement of the wire laterally of its axis and into the wire-receiving portion. An electrical commoning means extends across the sides of the housing adjacent to the rearward end thereof and also has spaced-apart wire-receiving portions for reception of ground wires in a cable. The cover members are dimensioned such that they can be assembled to the side surfaces of the housing and each cover member has wire-receiving grooves or channels therein in which the wires of the cable can be positioned prior to assembly of the cover members to the housing. When the cover members are assembled to the housing, the wires are inserted into the wire-receiving portions of the terminals and into the wire-receiving means of the commoning means. A method of positioning the wires and the cover members and assembling the cover members to the housing is also disclosed.</p> |
