Description
r The invention relates to electrical connectors particularly to connectors for splicing corresponding wires of wire pairs together.
An electrical connector according to the invention compri.ses an insulating housing moulded of plastics material with a pair of terminal-receiving cavities opening to opposite ends of the housing, a pair of electxical terminals received in respective cavities in back-to-back relation, each terminal being stamped and formed from a single piece of sheet metal stock with first and second parallel wire-receiving slots spaced apart -laterally of their axes with open axial ends towards ~he cavity opening, so that the terminals face in opposite . -directions away rom each other, first walls of each cavi~y lying in a common plane and each first wall being formed ; .. . .
;~l with.a pair of wire-receiving slots aligned with the . . respective slots of its associated termlnal, with open i axial ends of the terminal slots adjacent ~he cavity openings, longitud1nal.walls de~ining the terminal slots lying in a pla~e parallel to the first wall so that insulated . wires located in straight condltion to extend perpendicular .. : - to the first wall in alignment with the terl~inal slots can ~ . .
: be inserted in strai~ht condition transverse~y of thelx axes i~to ~he respectlve aligned slots through ~he open end, khe : edges o~ ~he terminal slots, penetrating the insulation to ::!
esta~lish an electrical connection wi-th respective wire `I cores~

Upper and lower sidewalls 19 and 20 of each housing cavity 13are also provided with slots 21 and 22 respectively, aligned with the wire-receiving slots 14 and lS.

The housing base 29 is of reduced width to provide access for wire insertion tooling to each end of the housing.
The connector housing may be manufactured in strip form by eeding a perorated carrier strip 31 of *MYLAR, a suitable plastiGs `
such as *KAPTON, or metal through the mould of a moulding machine and moulding the housings onto the strip, the mould cavities having recesses to permit the flow of moulding meterial through the holes in the carrier so that studs 32 are formed on the underside of the carrier strip. The : .

4. An electrical connector according to claim 1 or claim 2 in which the terminal is of channel-section with the first and second slots located in one terminal wall and spaced axially of the channel, the opposite terminal wall and cavity wall both being formed with two wire-receiving slots aligned with each other and with the first and second slots respectively.
