1. A quick connector for a multi-conductor circuit comprising a base member having a longitudinal cavity divided into a plurality of seats whose center distances equal the center distances of conductors in a multi-conductor circuit, a pair of opposing springs for each seat connected to a common terminal emerging from the base member, at least one spring of each pair being yieldingly displaceable toward the other spring, and a cover insertable into the longitudinal cavity of the base member and having opposing resilient ledges defining a longitudinal slot through which a multi-conductor circuit may be introduced into the connector without force, said resilient ledges approaching each other during insertion of the cover into the cavity of the base member and retaining the multi-conductor circuit by clamping action, and means on at least one of said ledges engaging one corresponding spring of each pair and causing it to yieldingly approach the other spring of each pair.
