ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a housing fitted with one or more contact members which have the capability of terminating an insulated multi-stranded conductor by displacement of the conductor insulation. The contact member comprises a stamped and formed metallic plate member having an insulation displacement slot which defines, at an end of the plate, a pair of limbs and a relatively wide conductor receiving mouth. The slot tapers from the mouth to a pair of opposed teeth positioned one on each limb in juxtaposed relationship. The teeth are configured to point in the general direction of the mouth and they serve to initiate severing of the conductor coating. The plate may further comprise a pair of coined protrusions adjacent a further narrowed portion of the slot for separating the conductor coating and providing an improved electrical interface between the conductor strands and contact.
