ABSTRACT A preformed electrical insulation displacement connector enabling electrical continuity between telecommunications equipment whose multiple electrical leads are commonly on a 0.085 inch pitch (center line distance between conductors) and other types of electronic equipment whose multiple electrical leads are commonly on a 0.050 inch pitch. A pair of 25 conductor arrays are preformed for rapid and facile assembly assuming upper and lower rows in an insulative housing. Contacts are mounted at the forward end of the housing so they assume the 0.085 inch pitch and can be engaged by a conventional multiple contact plug and bifurcated tails are mounted at the aft end of the housing to engagingly receive successive leads of a conventional ribbon cable which has a 0.050 inch pitch. If desired, the housing can accommodate a plural contact capacitor filter array adapted to be electrically engaged by the conductor arrays. One or more brackets composed of electrically conductive spring material serve to ground the capacitor filter array. In one embodiment, such a bracket also serves to hold the array fixed in position within the housing. A cover removably mounted on the housing serves to engage the ribbon cable at the aft end of the housing and to hold it firmly in position against the bifurcated tails.
