Abstract
An improved connector for terminating tri-lead cable includes a housing carrying a signal terminal and a ground terminal each capable of making engagement with a respective conductor of one or a pair of tri-lead cables. The connector also includes a pair of hermaphroditic covers each of which receives therein a respective tri-lead cable with the conductors thereof profiled to positions enabling termination by the terminals. The covers secure the termination sections of the terminals therewithin and are movable along with the terminals with respect to the housing to effect unlocking of the signal terminal from a mating pin terminal of a printed circuit board, so that the connector assembly is removable from the board, the ground terminal being removably engageable with a mating ground rail of the board.
