A connector for a flat cable having a hollow casing with a cavity therein. The cavity receives a leading end of the flat cable through a front opening in the casing. The cable has a plurality of flat terminals on both sides of the leading end. Complementary front and rear terminals are inserted into the cavity from front and rear openings in the casing. Each set of terminals contacts one side of the leading end of the cable. The leads from each set of terminals extend outwardly of the casing in opposite directions, thereby reducing the density of leads and facilitating assembly thereof.
