A punch down insulation displacing connector housing is a body made of plastic which surrounds the connector. The housing restrains the connector parts from longitudinal movement when the connector is positioned to be press fit onto or to be soldered onto a substrate such as a printed circuit board. The housing also aligns the opening of the connector with an opening slot on the body. Thus, the housing aligns a connection tool head used to insert a wire with the opening of the connector. This housing will stop movement of the connection tool head during wire insertion to position the wire inside the connector at a desired position. Also, the housing offers a surface where the connection tool head will stop and cut the wire. This housing is used on a compact electrical connector and will surround the connector. The housing can accept various types of connection tool head.
