A pair of conductor locating members (18, 18 min ) have opposite faces (31, 32) formed respectively with hooked flat cable engaging ribs (24) and wire bundle receiving openings (34) for clamping flat cable (15) or receiving wire bundles (16) between them respectively. A rear wall (22) of each housing shell (12, 12 min ) is provided with knock-outs (27, 27 min ) removable to provide apertures for wire bundles (16).
