Abstract
In a bandoleer of composite insulation displacement connectors, the tubular end portion of each composite connector incorporating diametrically opposed bifurcated insulation displacement contacts is joined to a side edge of a metal strip by a fracturable link so folded out of the plane of the strip that the common axis of the slots of the bifurcated contacts lies at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the strip. This acute angle is such that, when composite connectors are fitted into adjacent holes in a circuit board, the positions of the bifurcated contacts of each composite connector are such that a length of insulated conductor introduced between the limbs of the bifurcated contacts of the composite connector will extend between neighboring composite connectors with negligible risk of rendering difficult connection of a length of insulated conductor to a neighboring composite connector.
