ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for terminating electrical conductors includes a housing and a cap mounted to the housing. The housing includes a first housing section extending between a front wall and a base, a first wire groove formed through the front wall, and an insulation displacement connector (IDC) element disposed in the first housing section and configured for attachment to a printed circuit. The cap includes a pivot portion pivotally mounted to the housing and a cover portion extending from the pivot portion, where the pivot portion defines a wire receiving recess. In this regard, the cap is rotatable between an open position in which the first recess is linearly aligned with the first wire groove, and a closed position in which the cover portion is coupled to the front wall and the pivot portion is offset from the base to define a wire cavity.
