Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0203639A2] An insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminal comprises an IDC slot defined by a pair of arms. A ridge is formed on the inner surface of each of the arms. In the IDC terminal of the particular construction, the arms are thinner in the edge portion than in the remaining structure, making it possible to reduce the total stress on to the arms.
