Abstract
A multipin connector assembly for electrical conductors comprising a lower block 10 and an upper block 12 means defining receiving channels 14 for the conductors in the lower block which proceed from a side surface and pass through the lower block, means defining contact channels, which lead down from the top surface of the lower block disposed generally perpendicularly to said side surface, and passing into the lower block, and insulation displacement contacts 20 in the upper block of a similar array to the arrangement of contact channels, said displacement contacts projecting from the bottom surface of the block whereby when the upper block 12 is set down onto the lower block 10, the insulation displacement contacts 20 of the upper block pass through the contact channels 18 of the lower block and make contact with conductors 16 passing through the receiving channels 14 of the lower block, the lengths of the insulation displacement contacts 20 being dimensioned in such a way that as the insulation displacement contacts 20 pass through the contact channels 18, they do not contact all the conductors 16 passing through the associated receiving channels 14 simultaneously.
