Flat cable transition connector

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It accordingly is an object of this invention to provide an electrical transition connector comprising two housing blocks that provide the requisite electrical connection between flat cable conductors and individual wire conductors.
Each wire conductor is inserted into an interior of an upper housing block through a pair of openings formed therethrough and is placed in a wire conductor slot of an insulation piercing blade contact located in a contact slot in the upper housing block.
The flat conductor is then placed between the housing blocks, and the blade contact is driven through the flat conductor and into a matching contact slot formed in the lower housing block.
The housing blocks are fastened together by jacking screws located outboard of the flat cable to clamp the housing blocks together and complete the electrical connection between the flat cable and wire conductors upon each conductor of the flat cable being pierced by its respective blade contact and extruded against opposite faces of the blade contact received in its respective slot in the lower housing block.
Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out in more detail hereinafter.
