ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement connector (IDC) having internal sealing material which is packed around the wires as the connection is made. The IDC has a plurality of channels for receiving the wires, and at least one metallic element providing electrical contact between the wires. A plurality of voids are in fluid communication with the channels, and the voids are filled with the sealing material, such as a mastic or silicone grease. When the IDC is moved from an open to a closed position, the metallic element makes contact between the wires, and a piston or post subsequently enters the voids, causing the sealant to flow into the channels about the wires and the contact interface.
