Abstract
Insulation displacement terminal member having cantilever spring contact members which are spaced-apart to receive a conductor between them. Each contact member has an outward projection for engagement with the wall of a cavity of a connector housing to prevent undue movement apart of the members when a heavily insulated conductor is forced between them under extremely cold conditions. Ideally, the projections are convex to permit a rolling action upon the cavity wall.
