ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a connector for terminating a flat cable comprising: an elongate insulative base having first and second ends and top and bottom sur- faces extending between said ends, said base further having an elongate array of terminal element receiving apertures with each aperture extending through said top and bottom surfaces; a metallic terminal element disposed in each of said apertures, each said element including an insulation displacement conductor termination portion extending beyond said top surface and adapted to terminate a corresponding one of the conductors of said flat cable; an elongate in- sulative cover overlaying said termination portions, said cover having first and second ends; and interconnection means joining said base and cover adjacent their respective first ends and supporting said cover, said cover and base being relatively movable from an insertion position wherein the spacing between said cover and said conductor termina- tion portions is greater than the thickness of said cable and wherein the cover and base are joined only adjacent their first ends to a termination position wherein the spac- ing between the base and cover is less than in said inser- tion position and the various conductors of said cable are electrically and mechanically terminated in corresponding conductor termination portions of said terminal elements, whereby said connector permits entrance of said flat cable between the second ends of said cover and base thus allow- ing application of said connector intermediate the ends of said cable.
