Abstract
The application describes an electrical connector of the type which has a row of contact elements with mating ends and with upstanding slotted rearward ends that receive and pierce insulated wires, including a carrier of insulative material for installing and retaining the wires in the contact elements. The carrier is an elongated trough-shaped member with a pair of side walls that can fit respectively forward and rearward of the upstanding slotted contact portions, the side carrier walls having grooves which receive the insulated wires so that when the carrier is pressed against the connector the carrier forces the wires into the slots of the contact elements. The carrier has a resilient hook at either end which engages recesses formed in the connector frame as the carrier is pressed thereagainst.
