An insulation displacement terminal is provided for strain relief termination with a ribbon cable. The terminal includes a forward mating end and a rearward terminating end. The terminating end includes I.D. termination walls having a pair of spaced-apart insulation piercing points and an ID slot therebetween. Support walls are disposed to prevent deformation of the I.D. termination wall. Pairs of insulation piercing strain relief walls are disposed along opposite sides of the terminal. The insulation piercing strain relief walls are dimensioned and configured for crimping engagement with the insulation surrounding a conductor in the ribbon cable.

A filter connector is provided for incorporation into signal lines of an electrical component on a vehicle. The filter connector includes a filtering assembly having a plurality of terminals mounted in spaced relationship to a grounding plate. A plurality of capacitors or a capacitor array are mounted electrically to the grounding plate and are connected electrically to the respective terminals. The grounding plate, the capacitors, and portions of the terminals connected to the capacitors are insert molded into a nonconductive housing.
