ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a terminal-receiving passageway. An insulation displacement terminal is received in the passageway for terminating an insulated wire extending into the passageway. The wire includes an electrical conductor with a sheath of insulation thereabout. The terminal includes a terminating section deflectable for displacing the insulation and engaging the conductor. The terminating section is generally flat in a plane coincident with the longitudinal axis of the insulated wire. At least a portion of the terminating section is deflectable upon the application of a force on the terminal generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. The terminating section is configured to be permanently deformed when deflected into insulation-displacing condition with the insulated wire. The invention also is directed to such a terminal, per se.
