Abstract
A daisy chain connector (10) and method of using the connector (10) are disclosed. The connector has a housing having contacts (16) secured therein. A pair of terminating covers (56,58) are provided for applying termination force to conductors (48) of a multiconductor round or flat cable (46). The conductors (48) are formed into two loops with the connector therebetween. A terminating cover (56,58) is positioned in each loop (52,54), the conductors are positioned relative to the covers (56,58) then the covers (56,58) are pressed toward each other terminating the conductors to insulation displacement portions of the contacts (16) and simultaneously securing the covers (56,58) to the connector housing (20).
