Abstract
A terminal for making electrical connections to insulation clad wires includes a base portion and a pair of U-shaped elements each formed of a side wall extending upwardly from the base portion and a pair of end portions extending from the side wall. The U-shaped elements are formed at opposite sides of the base portion and the end portions, each defining one slot, extend more than half way toward the opposed side wall. A compact arrangement is achieved by internesting the U-shaped elements. Insulation displacement slots of different widths are provided for termination of wires of different gauges.
