Abstract: A connector means for terminating a ribbon-type cable consisting either of plurality of single conductors or a plurality of coaxial cables and comprising a connector housing having a flat main body portion with at least one partially closed channel formed on each side thereof and oppositely positioned with respect to each other. A contact means has its first end retained within each of the partially closed channel portions and its second ends extending outwardly therefrom and comprising a plate-like element extending away from the flat main housing body and having a slot formed therein which opens onto that edge of the plate-like elements which is farthest from the flat main housing body. A wire from the ribbon cable is placed over the slot in each slotted plate-like terminal. A pair of wing-like elements are pivotally connected to the partially closed single channels and constructed to pivot toward each other and over the plate-like elements of the contacts and thereby force the wires into the slots.
