Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing and an adapter. The housing is formed to include grooves which receive respective contacts for arraying the contacts at a predetermined spacing, which contacts are for connection to ends of conductors of respective covered wires in a multicore cable, bores which receive respective ones of the covered wires for arraying them at the predetermined spacing, an opening for receiving and holding the multicore cable, and a cavity formed between the opening and the plurality of grooves. The adapter, which is formed separately of the housing and received in the cavity, has a plurality of insertion holes for arraying respective ones of the covered wires at a spacing identical with the predetermined spacing of the contacts. The insertion holes and the bores are formed so as to lie in registration with each other when the adapter is inserted into the cavity.
