Abstract
This invention relates to an electrical conductor cable connector which includes a housing made from an electrical insulating material, having side walls which define an enclosure, a lower portion which extends between the side walls to define an open topped compartment in the housing on one side of the lower portion, a plurality of suitably spaced conductor engaging elements in and extending from the lower portion into the compartment with each element including a portion in the floor of the housing for electrically connecting an electrical conductor in a cable located in the lower portion to the conductor engaging element, a press member which is made from an electrical insulating material, for pressing a conductor ribbon tape cable into the compartment and the conductors which are carried by the tape into electrical engagement with the conductor engaging elements, means for clamping the ribbon tape in the compartment between the conductor engaging elements and each tape exit from the housing and a catch arrangement for locking the press member in the compartment to hold the tape clamped in the housing.
