An electrical connector (10) has electrical cables (50) pressed into channels (19) to connect the cables by pressure crimping to a respective terminal (43); the channels are aligned in a common plane to facilitate crimping. Some of the terminals (43) are bent in the vertical or horizontal plane, or both, so that the connection portions (44) of the terminals are arranged in several planes to suit a standard kind of mating connector.
