An insulated electrical connector is used with an associated switch. The switch includes three protruding co-planar switch terminals parallel and spaced from one another. The connector includes first, second, and third contacts positioned within an insulating housing that has at least three cavities parallel to one another. Each contact is positioned within the housing so that the connector is configured to receive external conductors and the associated switch terminals.
