摘要: An electrical connector for use in establishing electrical connections to the conductors of a flat cable comprises a first housing member carrying a plurality of terminals each having arms having opposed edges defining a conductor-receiving slot and having pointed extremities for piercing the insulating material of the cable, and a second housing member having a plurality of holes to receive the arms of a respective one of the terminals. The arms of the conductor-receiving portion of each terminal are formed adjacent their free ends with outwardly directed projections which are an interference fit in the associated hole in the second housing member, each arm of each terminal in use engaging the second housing member not only at the projection on the arm but also at a second position adjacent the engagement between the arm and a conductor of the cable received in the slot partially defined by the arm. The second position of engagement between each arm of each terminal and the second housing member serves to relieve the stresses induced in the arms by the engagement between the projections on the arms and the second housing member, this enhancing the contact between the arms and the conductors and ensuring reliable electrical connections.
