Abstract
A relay connector () for joining together two lengths of flat printed circuitry or flat flexible cable is formed from two connector housings () of identical shape. The two housings are joined together by a set of conductive terminals () and housing engagement members. The terminals are bilaterally symmetrical and have contact and engagement portions at their ends which are received in terminal-receiving grooves in the rear of the two housings. A pair of actuators () are rotatably mounted to the housings and they move in opposite directions to open and close.
