ABSTRACT:
A one-piece miniature insulation displacement contact adapted for post-termination insertion and retention within a channel of an insulative connector housing. The contact includes a continuous channel extending the length of a conductor termination portion formed at one end of the contact, extending the length of a transition portion of the contact, and extending a portion of the length of a terminal engagement portion of the contact; a floor of the continuous channel extending the entire length of the contact. The conductor termination portion includes opposing first walls coextensive with the floor and opposing insulation displacement jaws shear formed from each of the first walls where each of the jaws is displaced inwardly to juxtapose respective innermost insulation piercing edges of each of said jaws to form an insulation displacement slot.
