Abstract
A connector having an insulating body formed with a plurality of parallel wire support channels, each of the channels being formed with a transverse step defining upper and lower wire support levels. The adjacent channels are formed with steps rising in opposite directions to position a lower wire support level between two upper wire support levels. A bifurcate spring compression reserve contact element extends through an aperture in each of the lower wire support levels and a cover formed with channels complementary to those on the body is retained on the body to support, retain and make electrical connection to wires in the channels.
