the motor to be connected to the switch assembly 100 and switch 170 from one direction this is because unlike the prior art the terminals 181 182 and 183 lie on the same side 110 of the assembly 100 as best shown in fig4 a by contrast the switch assemblies in the prior art described above with reference to fig2 a and 2b have terminals extending in different directions to receive the leads for example on the switch 60 a depicted in fig2 a the terminals 81 83 extend in three different directions and receive separate terminal connectors 91 93 in three mating operations having the three motor leads l 1 l 3 connect to the terminals 181 183 on the same side 110 of the assembly 100 allows for more accurate attachment of the leads when assembling the switch 100 additionally having the three leads l 1 l 3 connect to terminals 181 183 on the same side 110 may be better suited to the space limitations that exist at the bottom of the disposer moreover having the three leads l 1 l 3 connect to terminals 181 183 on the same side 110 allows the leads to be pre assembled and housed in a common connector assembly 200 illustrated in fig6 a c in fig6 a c the common connector assembly 200 is illustrated in a side view with partial cross section a back view and an end cross sectional view respectively the connector assembly 200 is a one piece connector for three leads corresponding to leads l 1 l 3 the connector assembly 200 includes a body 202 which is preferably molded from nylon the body 202 has three housings 210 220 and 230 each housing 210 220 and 230 defines a passage 212 222 and 232.
