ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR ATTACHMENT TO MULTI-CONDUCTOR CABLES ABSTRACT The subject connector includes a hollow body having a plurality of ang- ularly spaced contacts mounted therein. Each of the contacts has a terminal end for electrical connection to a bare end of one of the conductors of a multi- conductor cable. The hollow body is formed of insulating material and contains compartments which enclose the terminal ends of the spaced contacts. The con- tacts may carry either male blades or female contacts for engagement with mat- ing contacts carried by an opposing connector. A cap or cover closes a rear end of the hollow body and contains spac- ed funnel-shaped openings which receive and guide the bare ends of the respec- tive contacts. The bare ends of the conductors are clamped in firm electrical contact with the terminal ends by means of a lovable wiring insert. The insert carries cams which engage with and urge movable ends of leaf springs against the bare ends of the conductors and force the conductors against the terminal ends of the contacts in movement of the insert in one direction in the body. The wiring insert is moved in said one direction against a return spring by a screw which threadably engages with the insert and has a headed end accessible from a front face of the body. The clamping action for a number of conductors takes place simultaneously in response to turning the single screw in one direction. Release of the conductors is obtained by turning the screw in the opposite dir- ection. The screw and the spring raise the insert to permit the ends of the conductors to be withdrawn from engagement with the terminal ends of the con- tacts.
