Abstract: An electrical connector including a basic connector shell having two female terminal receptacles inserted through one end and being lockingly engaged with the interior of the connector shell by means of tabs from the shell interior extending into mating openings in the terminal receptacles, with a secondary locking wedge member inserted through the opposite end of the shell, causing the tab-opening locking engagements to be further locked together by compressive, wedging forces directed towards the central interior of the shell. The secondary locking member at its top has two side, flexible legs having laterally extending locking protrusions which engage into mating cavities in the side, interior of the shell, effectively locking the secondary locking member into the shell. The wedge locking member and its interfacing with the interior structure of the shell forms an interior rectangular structure over which is placed a compressive sealing gasket.

Abstract: An electric connector assembly for connecting insulated wires to conductors on a printed circuit board comprises a housing block of insulation material for each pair of wires. Each housing block is formed with two chambers separated by divider wall means which include a flexible retaining arm projecting from the base of the housing block for insertion through a hole in the printed circuit board into retaining engagement therewith. An insulation displacement contact member is disposed in each chamber with a terminal lug portion extending from the base of the housing block for insertion into the printed circuit board. A cover hinged to each housing block has integral pusher members for forcing a pair of wires into respective slotted contact plates of the associated contact members when the cover is moved to a closed position upon the housing block.
