Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2089147A] A discrete wire insulation displacement connector includes a terminal (16) including an insulation displacement contact comprising a pair of blades defined by a line of cut. The edges of the contact ride in a guide channel (22) in the connector housing (14). The housing (14) includes a pair of opposed sidewalls (18) joined by a pair of opposed spaced webs (40) and a pair of opposed spaced endwalls 32 having upper edges below the upper edges of the webs. A tapered access to the connector is defined by at least one flexible prong (24) integrally joined to each of the sidewalls (18) and extending inwardly in opposed relationship. The trailing edges (26) of the prongs cooperate with the upper edges (42) of the webs to create an improved strain relief. <IMAGE>
