Abstract
An insulation displacement connector is disclosed which is particularly adapted for use with flat cable having closely spaced conductors. The termination end of each contact in the connector is formed by slitting the contact body and then offsetting the arms formed by the slit in opposite directions. Each conductor of the flat cable is pushed between the offset arms of a corresponding contact. A cap is mounted over the rear of the connector. Cavities in the cap having inclined walls engage the free ends of the resilient arms of the contacts urging them inwardly toward each other to ensure that a high strength connection will be maintained between the contacts and the conductors.
