Abstract
A connector having integrally formed walls and a cover enclosing wire receiving ends of terminals. The connector has openings along an edge which have resilient grommets installed therein.

Claims9
A connector comprising:
- a plurality of elongated conductive terminals each having first and second wire-receiving ends along a longitudinal axis of said each terminal;
- a substantially planar insulative base holding said plurality of terminals in a parallel spaced array with the axes of the terminals orthogonal to the base and with the first ends of all of the terminals extending outwardly from a first side of the base and the second ends of all of the terminals extending outwardly from a second side of the base;
- an insulative wall extending from the first side of the base and surrounding the first ends of all of the terminals, the wall terminating in a distal edge which is further from the first side of the base than the first ends of all of the terminals;
- and
- a cover secured to the wall to enclose the first ends of all of the terminals, wherein the cover has an opening to allow the passage therethrough of wires secured to the first ends of the terminals and the opening is conformable to snugly surround the wires passing therethrough.
