Insulation displacement contact terminal |
(57) 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.
