ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal (32) for insertion into a passage (30) in a dielectric housing (22) or a high density ribbon cable connector (20) incorporating the terminal is disclosed. The high density ribbon cable connector (20) has an insulative housing (22) having passages (30) extending therethrough. Each of the passages (30) have an electrical terminal (32) secured therein. Each terminal (32) has a mating section (34), an intermediate section (56) and an insulation displacement section (38). A first transition section (60) is disposed between the mating section (34) and the intermediate section (56); a second transition section (72) is disposed between the intermediate section (56) and the insulation displacement section (38). The intermediate section (56) provides forwardly facing stop shoulders (58) for engagement with stop shoulders (64) in the insulative housing (22) to position the terminal (32) in a passage (30). Each terminal (32) is pushed into a passage (30) in the housing (22) by applying an insertion force on rearwardly facing shoulders (65) on the intermediate section (40). The first transition section (60) provides that the forwardly facing stop shoulders (58) on the intermediate section (46) are not in the same plane as the mating section (34) of the terminal (32). The second transition section (72) positions the insulation displacement section (38) out of the plane of the rearwardly facing insertion force shoulders (65). A termination cover (24) is used to press the ribbon cable (94) onto the insulation displacement sections (38) of the terminals (32), thereby terminating the conductors (92) of the ribbon cable (94) to respective terminals (32).
