Abstract
An electrical distribution system for use in selectively establishing interconnection between incoming circuits in a multiconductor cable and outgoing circuits employs a miniature ribbon connector and a single position outlet plug. The outlet plug employs round wire contacts to make interconnection to the flat resilient portions of miniature ribbon terminals. The outlet plugs are received within an adaptor housing mounted on the female mating face of a miniature ribbon connector. The round wire contacts in the outlet plug are crimped to terminals. Line assignment modules and cross connect assemblies can thus be constructed.
