Abstract
An electrical plug and receptacle assembly in which the number of different parts is minimized, is characterized by the use of an identical insulator in both the plug housing and the receptacle housing. The insulator has contact compartments adapted to mount either male or female contacts. Both the male and female contacts include an integral cable terminal. Additionally, the female contacts are segmented and include spring means for biasing the female contacts into tight engagement with male contacts. A cable clamp is also provided with the plug assembly which can effectively clamp either round or flat cables.
