ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement connector prevents a sheathed cable from being readily moved by an external force after the sheathed cable is temporarily inserted in a cable insertion gap. A plurality of guide projections (13) stand on a connector housing (11) of the insulation displacement connector at a given distance in two rows. A cable insertion gap (15) is defined between the adjacent guide projections (13) for receiving a sheathed cable (14). The guide projection (13) is provided on each of the opposite sides of the top end with a shoulder (22) extending toward the gaps (15) to prevent the sheathed cable (14) from coming out of the gaps (15). The guide projection is provided on each of the opposite sides defining the gaps (15) with a holding ridge (21) having a triangular cross section and extending from the underside of the shoulder (22) to the proximal end. The holding ridges (21) on the opposite sides of the guide projection (13) compress an insulation sheath of the sheathed cable (14) to prevent the sheathed cable from coming out of the gaps (15).
