A tap connector is provided for interconnection to an electrical cable having a plurality of conductor wires. A base defines a longitudinal axis along which the electrical cable is disposed. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the base and are spaced laterally of the axis for terminating the conductor wires. A cover is pivotally mounted on the base and includes a spreader structure for engaging and spreading the conductor wires automatically in response to mounting the cover on the base.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A tap connector for interconnection to an electrical cable having a plurality of conductor wires, comprising:a base housing part defining a longitudinal axis along which the electrical cable is disposed;a plurality of insulation displacement terminals on the base housing part spaced laterally of said axis for terminating the conductor wires of the cable;a cover housing part pivotally mounted on the base housing part for movement between an open position and a closed position whereat the insulated conductor wires are biased into termination with the insulation displacement terminals; andspreader means on the cover housing part for engaging the conductor wires and spreading the wires into alignment with the laterally spaced terminals automatically in response to pivoting the cover housing part from its open position to its closed position.
