The connector is disposed between the upper and lower portions and grasped by fingers extending from the respective upper and lower portions. The portions are moved apart to separate the members of the connector and to receive the ribbon cable between the members. The upper and lower portions are moved toward one another to join the members of the connector and to terminate the connector on the ribbon cable. A method of attaching the connector to the ribbon cable is disclosed.
