ABSTRACT:
A collapsible insulation displacement terminal is disclosed for terminating an insulated wire having an electrical conductor with a sheath of insulation thereabout. The terminal includes at least one terminal wall portion deflectable for displacing the insulation and for engagement with the conductor upon application of a force on the terminal in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the insulated wire. The first terminal wall portion includes a blade portion deformable therefrom generally parallel to the axis of the insulated wire to present a substantial area of contact with the conductor of the wire. A second terminal wall portion is deflectable upon application of the axial force into engagement with the blade portion of the first terminal wall portion to insure contact between the electrical conductor and the first terminal wall portion.
