ABSTRACT The present invention is directed generally to electrical connection assemblies and, more particularly, to an assembly for terminating a flat electrical cable having a plurality of electrical transmission or signal conductors and ground conductors arranged in a closely-spaced array within a strip of insulative material. Prior art termination assemblies suffer from the dis- advantage that they are not suitable for use with cable having very closely spaced conductors. When the conductors are spaced at intervals of about 0.030 inch or less, conventional insulation- piercing termination devices are susceptible to shorting which is, of course, unacceptable. The present invention therefore, is directed to a mass termination system for flat cable having very closely spaced con- ductors which overcomes the problems and disadvantages associated with prior art devices. The assembly of the present invention includes connector means to terminate selected conductors, isolation means to inactivate certain other selected conductors at the locus of the termination and bridging means to electrically couple the inactivated conductors to the connector means. The assembly allows the use of in- sulation-piercing termination devices without the danger of shorting between the closely spaced adjacent conductors.
