Abstract
Multi-conductor electrical connector comprises a body member having oppositely directed first and second faces and contact terminals mounted therein. The terminals have wire-receiving portions extending from the first face and have receptacle portions on the second face, the receptacle portions being dimensioned to be mated with a contact portion of a similar or identical terminal. The first and second faces are complementary to each other so that the connector body can be plugged at both faces to another connector body. The connector body can be used with an identical connector body or with other housing parts to form a pluggable multi-wire splice, a tap connection, and to install new equipment in a telephone cable.
