ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement connector for flat multiconductor cable has a housing containing several, and preferably three, rows of openings on centers of 0.100 inch. The rows of openings are laterally aligned to each other so that aligned contact pins of a header may be inserted into the openings. Identical contacts are contained in each of the openings. The contacts contain wire piercing ends or tines which are laterally displaced from the center line of the contacts. The contacts are inserted into the openings with the contact tines displaced in one direction in a first row of contacts and in an opposite direction, such as 180.degree., on a second row of contacts. The lateral displacement between the centers of the contact tines from the center of the respective contact is equal to one-half of the spacing between the wires of the multiconductor cable. Further contacts are inserted into the openings in a third row of contacts and are oriented identically to the contacts in the second row but are laterally displaced therefrom by the spacing between the wires of the multiconductor cable. By the present arrangement of the contacts, all the wires of a multiconductor cable with 0.033 inch spacing between wires are engaged by the connector, while still using identical contacts.
