Electrical connector system and insulation displacement terminals therefor

An electrical connector system (156) includes self-terminating pin terminals (20) which have forward mating ends and identical rearward wire receiving ends (24) (Fig. 2). The wire receiving ends are mountable in a modular rear housing (70). The modular rear housing (70) is mateable with a front plug...

Summary:An electrical connector system (156) includes self-terminating pin terminals (20) which have forward mating ends and identical rearward wire receiving ends (24) (Fig. 2). The wire receiving ends are mountable in a modular rear housing (70). The modular rear housing (70) is mateable with a front plug housing (92) (Fig. 10). The terminals can be mass terminated by inserting a plurality of wires (158) into the modular rear housing (70) and by axially advancing the modular rear housing toward the front housing (92). The housing components (70,92) can be readily separated from one another for repair or replacement of terminals (20). The pin terminals (20) may be replaced by socket terminals (60) (Fig. 5). In this case, the front plug housing (92) is replaced with a receptacle housing (90).
