ABSTRACT:
An electrically coupled insulation displacement system comprises a first contact having a first insulation displacement slot therein having an open end and a closed end. The first insulation displacement slot has a first portion having a width adjacent the open end and a second portion having a width intermediate the first portion and the closed end, the first portion has a larger width than the second portion. The insulation displacement system further comprises a second contact, which includes a second insulation displacement slot therein having an open end and a closed end. The second insulation displacement slot has a first portion having a width adjacent the open end and a second portion having a width intermediate the first portion and the closed end, the first portion has a smaller width than the second portion.
