Abstract
A block type electrical terminal connector, especially for use in aircraft nd spacecraft, has a pot-shaped housing of electrically insulating material permanently closed at its bottom and closable at its open top by a cover. A single piece contact bank for connecting groups of contact pins together, that is to the same potential, is made of a band of sheet metal, so that contact elements, contact pin retainers and arresting members form integral components of the single piece contact bank which is inserted into the open top of the housing and held in the housing by the cooperation of locking shoulders in the housing with the arresting members of the single piece contact bank, whereby the contact bank is retained in the housing even without the cover closing the housing. This construction substantially reduces the number of connector parts and simplifies the structure and assembly of the connector.
