Universal connector kit

Claim 1

A universal connector plug assembly kit for selective insertion into a contact strip having a multiplicity of pairs of normally closed, springingly engaged contact elements, to selectively make external electrical connection to said normally closed contact pairs and to make electrical connection independently to each contact of a contact pair, said assembly kit comprising: at least one pair of identical electrically insulative shell halves adapted to fit together to form a unitary housing adapted to receive at one end a cable having at least one wire therein; at least one pair of separate, flattened, elongated, electrically conductive first contact members; at least one unitary, insulative, second contact member having two spaced planar legs connected at one end, said second contact member having an electrically conductive path on at least one planar side of one of said legs; at least one electrically insulative first insert member adapted to be captured between said two shell halves at the other end of said housing and retained therein, said first insert member being adapted to retain, in cooperation with said shell halves, at least one of said first contact members in a position extending from inside said housing outwardly from said other end thereof; at least one electrically insulative second insert member adapted to be captured between said two shell halves at the other end of said housing and retained therein, said second insert member being adapted to retain, in cooperation with said shell halves, said second contact member in a position extending from inside said housing outwardly from said other end thereof; said first and second contact members, when assembled with said housing and respective insert member being adapted for permanent connection with the wire from said cable.
