Abstract
A sealed insulation displacement connector comprises a first housing member in which is located an electrical terminal having a slotted insulation displacement section, and a second housing member in which an elastomeric body of sufficient rigidity is disposed so that when an insulated conductor is aligned with the slotted insulation displacement section the housing members are moved relative to each other causing the elastomeric body to forcefully move the insulated conductor into the slotted insulation displacement section thereby terminating the conductor with the elastomeric body sealingly engaging the connection formed between the conductor and the electrical terminal.
