Abstract
Cable terminal connector with a housing to receive conductors of one cable into terminal positions within the housing and a closure member having terminal positions for conductors of another cable. Insulation displacement contact members have an insulation displacement terminal at one end and are initially located in detent positions with the terminals spaced from the terminal positions of the housing. The closure member is movable into a fully retained position upon the housing and during this movement, the contact members are caused to move to locate their terminals into the terminal positions of the housing to connect them to the cable conductors in the housing. Conveniently, the contact members also have insulation displacement terminals at their other end for movement into the terminal positions of the closure member as the closure member moves into the fully retained position.
