Abstract
Disclosed is a connector mainly including a plastic body, a front steel case, and an insertion body assembled to a rear end of the plastic body. The insertion body is provided at top and bottom front surfaces with terminal slots corresponding to upper and lower rows of insertion terminals provided at a front end surface of the insertion terminals. Partitioning ribs are provided between rear ends of adjacent terminal slots and separating strips are provided at a rear end of the insertion body corresponding to the partitioning ribs with a receiving recess transversely extending between the corresponding ribs and strips. Interconnecting cables are connected to a rear end of the connector and each includes multiple conductors that are spacedly arranged corresponding to the insertion terminals and fixed in place by clamping them between a set of clamping pieces that are then set in the receiving recesses with bared front ends of the conductors projecting from the clamping pieces into the terminal slots to contact rear ends of the insertion terminals in the terminal slots between the partitioning ribs. The bared conductors and the insertion terminals can then be electrically connected by…
