Abstract
This invention relates to a card edge connector, multiple numbers of which are arranged in banks and interconnected by discrete wires. The present invention provides a system for lacing wires through passageways and channels, thereby aligning the wires for insertion within slotted plate electrical contacts. One or a pair of wires may be inserted in each contact. Wire gripping strain relief is provided in each of the wire aligning passageways. The passageways and channels position the wire in an orderly arrangement in different planes within the connectors. Wire retention gates prevent removal of the wires from the channels and passageways.
