Abstract
A low profile cable termination assembly comprises a multiconductor cable, a plurality of contacts, a carrier for carrying the contact in a pair of parallel rows, a housing for holding together in snap-fit relation the carrier and contacts, and a strain relief molded to the cable insulation, contacts carriers and housing. The contacts have cable conductor connecting portions terminating at inwardly angled parts coterminus with an end of the carrier, and the cable extends from the strain relief at right angles to the plane of the contact in each row. Also disclosed is a printed circuit termination assembly of similar construction, except that the contacts are connected to a printed circuit board inserted into a slot in the carrier.
