Abstract
An electrical connector for interconnecting parallel multiconductor cables includes a housing having a first cable receiving section for receiving a parallel multiconductor main cable and a second cable receiving section for receiving a parallel multiconductor branch cable respectively. Contact members each extend through the housing and have terminal portions projecting from the first and second cable receiving sections so that the main and branch cables are press fitted into the terminal portions. A pair of covers are attached to the housing and each have cable receiving sections pressing the main and branch cables against the first and second cable receiving sections respectively in the condition that the covers are attached to the housing. The housing is engaged with each cover in a state that each cover has been attached to the housing. Each cover is held in a provisional engagement state in which each cover is away from the housing by a predetermined distance, in a process that the covers are attached to the housing.
