Abstract

See full text

A ballast connector is described for use with a ballast having windings, resistors, capacitors, etc. mounted therein. An internal connector housing is positioned in one end of the ballast case and has the various leads from the windings, resistors, capacitors, etc. extending outwardly through sockets provided in the internal connector housing. An external connector housing is selectively removably mounted on the ballast case and has its inner end adapted to be received by the outer end of the internal connector housing. A plurality of insulation displacement connectors are positioned in the external connector housing and have one end thereof connected to predetermined leads which extend through the socket in the internal connector housing. The leads are provided with detents on the opposite sides thereof which are received by V-shaped portions of the said one end of the insulation displacement connector. The outer ends of the insulation displacement connectors are electrically connected to service leads.
