Abstract

A discrete wire insulation displacement connector hav­ ing a terminal (16) including an insulation displacement contact (46) comprising a pair of blades (48) defined by a line of cut (50). The edges of the contact ride in a guide channel in the connector housing (14). The housing (14) includes a pair of opposed sidewalls (18) joined by a pair of opposed spaced webs (40). A tapered access to the connector is defined by at least one flexible prong (24) integrally joined to the upper edge (22) of each of the connector's sidewalls and turned inwardly in opposed relationship. The trailing edges (26) of the prongs (24) cooperate with the upper edges (42) of the webs (40) to create an improved strain relief.
