Abstract
A modular connector assembly comprises discrete connector members each having upstanding leg portions disposed in a specific alternating arrangement along opposite sides of a base portion so as to interlock with the leg portions of an adjacent connector member to provide a composite structure having discrete wire receiving cavities. Mating projections and recesses may be provided along opposing sides of the leg portions to serve as additional locking means between the connector members. In a further embodiment, a slotted divider may be interposed between opposingly positioned connector members to provide the discrete wire receiving cavities.
