するので、圧接技法が使用できると大変有益である。There are many applications in which it is desirable to use insulation displacement (IDC) terminals. However, one drawback of crimp terminals is that they are very sensitive to the cross-sectional area of the insulated conductor to be connected (or inserted). Since the actual wire size that one wants to terminate is sometimes unknown, it is difficult to make the crimp connection where it is most effective when a simple connection is required. A particular example of this is when powering certain accessories by splicing or tapping into the leads of a vehicle wire harness. It would be highly beneficial to be able to use crimping techniques, as cutting and crimping the wire requires the service of a skilled technician.

頼性接続が行われ且つ維持されなければならない。The reason why the pressure contact structure is so sensitive to the cross-sectional dimension of the conductor is that the cutting edge (cutting edge) that penetrates through the insulating layer requires that the inner conductor be completely exposed and that the conductor be damaged excessively. This is because it must not cause damage to. This is especially important in the case of burnt lines. In addition, the contact parts of the pressure contact type terminals must be in contact with the conductors adjacent to each other and have some elasticity so that a durable and reliable connection can be made and maintained.
