Abstract
A guide member is provided for use with a multi-wire plug connector. It has an elongated body with multiple wire pathways extending through it in a torturous path so that wires inserted into one end of the guide member in a first orientation are twisted into a second orientation that is different than the first orientation. The guide member body is formed of two parts and one of the parts has ports for the injection of a settable compound, such as a hot melt adhesive to hold the guide member parts together as well as the wires in place within the guide member.
