According to a different aspect; of the i**ion, a flat cable, having a development described within the previous paragraph of textual co**, further **prises, each floor **ductor overlying and extending above a corresponding area between signal **ductors. However, the cable 1 is **structed purposely with a signal **ductor 2 being absent from no less than one of the pitch spa**gs, and stated at the least one ground **ductor 6 extends above said one of the pitch spa**gs. In the popular embodiment of this i**ion, these resilient arms extend horizontal relative to the vertical base, with one of many horizontal arms being generally in the same plane because the horizontal base of the cable interco**ion portion. One crimp terminal that has **firmed effective i**ablishing such an interco**ion to flat **ductors in a flat cable is depicted in U.S. Each terminal has a first or cable **ductor interco**ion portion having a horizontal base with **ductor participating elements formed upwardly from the horizontal base. Interco**ion of the vertical base directly to the horizontal base, rather than interco**ion between the horizontal base and a horizontal resilient arm in the identical plane, permits the **paratively small terminals in accordance with this i**ion to be precisely and repetitively stamped and formed inside acceptable tolerances.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a plurality of terminals in two arrays positioned in a partially i**ed **figuration inside an insulated housing. FIG. 3 is a view of the co**or with the terminals fully i**ed into the housing involved with flat **ductors in a flat insulated cable, the co**or being appropriate for interco**ing to a plurality of upstanding pins or posts. Terminals in accordance with that patent could also be stamped and formed from flat stock and i**ed into an insulated housing. The position of such spring **tacts between adja**t terminals, nevertheless, round flexible cable limits the **terline spa**g of pins for which the co**or having a terminal as proven in the above-mentioned patent ** be appropriate. This i**ion pertains to an electrical co**or of the sort employed to make an electrical interco**ion between a plurality of **ductors and an array of upstanding pins or posts and more notably pertains to an electrical co**or appropriate for use with multi-**ductor flat **ductor versatile cable which promotes simultaneous mass termination of all the **ductors inside the cable. The moment i**ion permits such a i**ly spaced pin **tact **figuration to be employed with a normal flat **ductor flat cable crimp reminis**t of that shown in U.S.

2.3 mm. In this embodiment, cable 29 possessed a thi**ess of solely about 1.5 mm. 30 mm. Despite such relatively thinness for such a **po**, the described rotation of the cylindrical member fifty one with out harm to the cable was repeatedly potential. FIG. 7 represents a **siderably remaining forming operation during which the bend line 34 is established between the horizontal base 14 and the vertical base 24. Note that bend line 34 extends substantially axially relative to the terminal 10. Note that the horizontal base 14 is circuitously related to the horizontal arm 26a although horizontal arm 26a is **siderably in the identical plane as the horizontal base 14. Positioning bend line 34 in the position shown in FIG. 6 is important because the horizontal base 14 could be engaged by a first forming member whereas a se**d forming member ** engage the bottom 24 to kind the bend line 34, as shown in FIG. 7A. In this method, a **tact **figuration may be formed through which the final **figuration could be adequately managed to kind a practical product.

The pin interco**ion portion 20 also **tains a base 24. Base 24, however, extends in the vertical plane relative to the horizontal base 14 within the **ductor interco**ion portion 12. Note that the phrases "horizontal" and "vertical" are employed herein merely to denote the relative orientation of the vertical base 24 with respect to the horizontal base 14. First and se**d resilient arms 26a and 26b lengthen from reverse sides of the vertical base 24. In the preferred embodiment of this i**ion, the resilient arms 26a and 26b are formed a few right angle relative to the vertical base 24 so that both resilient arms 26a and 26b shall be situated in horizontal planes in the final formed **figuration. A resilient pin **tact portion is located on the alternative finish of each terminal and employs a vertical, moderately than a horizontal, base having two opposed resilient arms extending from the alternative sides of the bottom.
