ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement terminal assembly comprises an insulation displacement terminal having a U-shaped insulation displacement portion which has two plate sections that are connected by a bight and insulation displacement slots that extend through the bight and down into the plate sections in aligned pairs of insulation piercing slot portions. A plurality of insulated electric cables are disposed in the insulation piercing slot portions and retained therein to form a sub-assembly. The sub-assembly is assembled into a slide-in insulator housing portion which has slots in its opposed side walls through which the insulated electric cables of the sub-assembly extend and a retention tongue that is cantilevered from a back wall of the housing portion and runs parallel to the slotted side walls to project between the insulated electric cables and the bight of the insulation displacement terminal to retain the electric cables down in the insulation displacement slot portions.
