Abstract
A connector block molded of glass-filled thermo-plastic includes an integral gate extending along the ends of a row of cavities. The gate is connected to the block by a hinge portion having opposed resin rich surface layers and a rigid glass fiber-resin composite between the layers. Upon movement of the gate toward a position where it closes the adjacent ends of the cavities, one resin layer and the composite in the hinged portion break permitting retention of the gate about the remaining flexible layer to close the ends of the cavities.
