Abstract

The IDC terminal block assembly according to the present invention provides an in-the-field useability with ordinary, readily available tools, and each terminal block assembly is capable of terminating any one of multiple-gauge wires. The IDC terminal block assembly is manufactured in a standard length that is selectively severable at multiple locations to provide the number of terminal positions adapted for a particular applications environment. The terminal block assembly is operable in either a pin-compatable or a printed circuit board insertable mode with only a slight modification in otherwise identical IDC terminal bodies, and is economically fabricated from three cooperative components that are readily assemblable, minimize inventory requirements, and provide positive strain relief. The three principal cooperative component sub-assemblies include plural IDC terminal bodies in one of two configurations, plural contiguous housing members, and plural cover members having yoked cam surfaces pivotally mounted individually to the several housing members. The IDC terminal bodies are slidably mounted individually to corresponding housing members and are held thereby in a stationary manner. Any of multiple gauge wires positioned in the stationary terminal bodies are urged downwardly thereinto by action of the yoked cam surface of the associated cover members in such a way that the insulation surrounding the wire is cut-through, and the material of the wire is plastically deformed in inverse proportion to the gauge thereof. The wires as terminated are recessed within the terminal block assembly in such a way that any strain along the wires is stress relieved externally of the wire-to-IDC terminal interfaces.
