Abstract
Commoning connector for conductors comprises an insulating housing having a terminal-receiving face into which a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities extend. Electrical terminals in the cavities have wire-receiving portions adjacent to the terminal-receiving face which receive and establish electrical contact with a wire. Adjacent terminals are connected by a connecting strip or buss bar so that wires in adjacent terminals are commonly connected. The connector can be used in harness manufacturing processes which are also described.
