ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement contact (1) according to the invention essentially distinguishes itself in that as a whole it comprises a cutter section with two opposing contact blades (3.1, 3.2) together with two fork sections which contribute to a clamping force with which the two contact blades are pressed together as soon as a conductor is inserted between the contact blades and they are pushed away from one another. In the process one fork (4) exerts proximally (i.e. on the side, from which the conductor is inserted) and the other fork (5) distally (i.e. on the side opposite), such that the two contact blades are pushed together at four points. The fork sections are angled relative to the cutter section (3), i.e. they do not run in the same plane as the cutter section. The two fork sections each constitute an independent, elastic spring. This means that in they will be substantially elastically and not plastically deformed as a result of the moving-apart of the contact blades (3.1, 3.2) to the thickness of a conductor to be contacted.
