Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008153346A1] A connector arrangement for connecting the insulated conductors of a flat cable with an output load includes insulation-piercing contacts that extend upwardly from the horizontal upper surface of the rectangular base member of a connector housing. When a housing cover member is slidably displaced longitudinally of the base member from a first position toward a second position, a first wedge arrangement displaces an actuator plate and a cable support plate downwardly to force the cable into insulation-piercing engagement with the contacts. A locator insulating lug normally extends upwardly from the cable support plate for insertion within an access opening contained in the cable, and between the separated ends defined by an intermediate portion of a conductor that is separated by the access opening. When the cable is uniform and contains no access opening, the lug is displaced by the cable toward an inoperable position relative to the support plate.
