Abstract
An electrical terminal is shown which includes an insulation displacement type slot which is useable with stranded wire. The insulation displacement slot has two plates at each end of a base portion which are folded up to face one another. The plates form open slots for the receipt of the insulated stranded wire, and the plates are rotatable one towards the other, to bring side edges of the plates through the insulation and against the individual conductor strands for termination therewith. The side edges of the plate portions are formed into arcuate sections which prevent lateral movement of the strands within the slots.
