Abstract
A terminal connector assembly for removably receiving end portions of a multiconductor cable includes a terminal block defining an array of interior elongate cavities. Each cavity is provided with a generally U-shaped terminal member having a pair of opposing spaced-apart side arms and an integral pair of opposing protruding contact portions. The protruding contact portions establish therebetween an entranceway of reduced cross-sectional dimension such that upon insertion of an end portion of the multiconductor cable therebetween, the contact portions establish electrical contact therewith. A housing cover is also disclosed whereby peninsular portions thereof are capable of resilient displacement so as to release gripping engagement with the multiconductor cable to permit withdrawal thereof while yet being resiliently biased into gripped engagement with the multiconductor cable when the latter is inserted into the terminal connector assembly so as to assist in maintaining electrical contact between the multiconductor cable and the protruding contact portions of the U-shaped terminal member.
