Abstract
A method and connector device for connecting insulated wire cable to another device is provided. The connector device includes a housing having an array of bifurcated connector disposed in a preselected pattern. The cable wires are completely stripped of the insulation at locations corresponding to the pattern of the connectors. The wires are then pushed into the connectors transversely to slidingly and frictionally engage the wires. The wires are pushed into this engagement by a cover which coacts with the housing to insulate the wires and their connectors.
