Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5292390
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A connector system is disclosed for interconnecting prewired, prefabricated modules, such as panels or housing units, with the connector system providing positive wiring and locked electrical interconnection. The subject connector system includes both hermaphroditic housings and terminals with the housings providing interlocking between mating connector members and the terminals providing ease of assembly. There are several embodiments of the connector, a first is a splice to be used for intermating cables running between modular units, a second is a panel mounting used for interconnecting a modular unit with a power distribution panel or the like, and a third is a T-connection to be used for making a line tap. The terminals include an insulation displacing slot for engagement with a conductor and the cover member of the connector is profiled to drive the conductors into the respective slotted beam portions of the associated terminals. The housings and terminals are also profiled for engaging the conductors in only one way so as to obviate miswiring of the connectors.
