Abstract
An electrical connector forms a permanent electrical connection between a flat cable having multiple conductors and a plurality of round wires. The connector comprises a first connector half and a second connector half. The first connector half has a flat cable channel and at least one flat cable access window in communication with the flat cable channel. The second connector half has a plurality of wire channels for receiving round wires, and at least one wire access window in communication with one of the wire channels. Each cable access window is aligned with at least one wire access window to facilitate a permanent connection between a conducting strip of the multiple conductor flat cable and a conducting core of the round wire.
