Abstract

An electrical connector comprises an integrally molded housing having a dead-front base and a pair of side covers 240, 260 pivotally connected to it by web hinges 210, 211. The side covers 240, 260 fold about the web hinges to: (i) force insulated cord conductors 215 into insulation displacement terminals 206 affixed to the housing and thus wire the connector: and (ii) safely enclose the wiring area. The side covers may also be locked to the dead-front base by the engagement of mating portions of the covers and base to prevent relative motion should the web hinges fail. The connector can have male 202 or female contacts or both. <IMAGE>
