Abstract

A connector, for a multiconductor flat cable, composed of three rows of connection contacts mounted at a defined distance from one another in an elongate body of insulating material, with the connection contacts having the shape of sockets or pins which extend toward one surface or side of the insulating body. The connection contacts are each connected, via a center connecting section, with respective conductor terminals which are spaced slightly differently from one another than the associated connection contacts and each has the shape of a pair of contact fingers which extend approximately mutually parallel toward the opposite side or surface of the insulating body. The conductor terminals are longitudinally located such that each conductor of the flat cable will be pressed between a respective pair of contact fingers so as to pierce or displace the insulation surrounding the conductor and contact same. The conductor terminals associated with the connection contacts in the two outer rows of connection contacts, as well as the conductor terminals associated with the connection contacts in the center row of connection contacts are arranged in respective rows while lie in planes oth…
