摘要： An index strip has alternately peaked and flat indexing teeth which are of assistance in splitting conductor pairs of a first plurality of conductors which are received in slots formed between adjacent ones of the teeth. The conductors are retained in the slots prior to assembly of a connector module with the index strip. The connector module is comprised of mating portions and includes a plurality of double-ended, contact elements. The mating portions are designed for reliable permanent assembly while securing the contact elements therein against unintended lateral and longitudinal movement. The contact elements make electrical engagement with associated ones of the conductors in the index strip when the connector module is mounted to the index strip. Depending on service requirements, a connector module having the same conductor capacity as the index strip may be used. The teeth in the index strip are arranged in groups with end ones of the groups specially designed to permit mounted of connector modules having the same length as one or more of the groups in the index strip. A bridging module may be mounted at selected locations along a connector module having the same length as one or more groups of the index strip or the bridging connector may extend along the entire length of the connector module.

摘要翻译： 索引带具有交替的峰值和平坦的分度齿，其有助于分开第一多个导体的导体对，所述第一多个导体被接收在形成在相邻齿之间的槽中。 在连接器模块与索引条组装之前，导体被保留在槽中。 连接器模块由配合部分组成并且包括多个双端接触元件。 配合部分被设计成可靠地永久组装，同时将接触元件固定在其中以防意外的横向和纵向运动。 当连接器模块安装到索引条上时，接触元件与索引条中的相关导体电接合。 根据服务要求，可以使用具有与索引条相同的导体容量的连接器模块。 索引条中的齿分成几组，其特别设计成允许安装与索引条中的一个或多个组具有相同长度的连接器模块。 桥接模块可以沿着具有与一组或多组索引条具有相同长度的连接器模块的选定位置安装，或桥接连接器可以沿着连接器模块的整个长度延伸。
