ABSTRACT:
A mounting block has a plurality of insulation displacement connectors or terminal clips, mounted in openings in the block in traverse rows which are evenly spaced along the length of the block. The block is a dielectric body of conventional shape having fanning strip sections at its opposite margins. The insulation displacement connectors or terminal clips are loosely received through holes in the block and have a pair of wire-receiving prongs that are symmetric about a central axis so that the terminal clips do not require a specific orientation relative to the center line of the block. The terminal clips each have a wire-retaining receptacle near the upper end and are slit so that a wire may be slid down and the wire insulation displaced for electrical connection to the terminal clip. The slit forms resilient arms that are tapered from an upper end downwardly. Cross-talk between terminal clips that are adjacent in longitudinal direction is controlled by altering the amount of plastic material spacing adjacent pairs of terminal clips in longitudinal direction such that, in regions where the plastic material is reduced, an air gap between such terminal clips to reduce the dielectric constant between that pair of terminal clips.
