ABSTRACT:
An insulation displacement connector is described, of the type wherein caps are used to press wires against insulation displacement contacts projecting from opposite faces of a body, which is simple and of low cost. The caps (32, 34 FIG. 1) are integrally molded with the body (12), with thin joints (36, 38) connecting them, the joints being broken when the caps are moved towards opposite faces of a middle wall of the body. The joints can be formed as living hinges, and the caps are first pivoted 90.degree. and then broken before being pressed towards opposite faces of the body wall.
