Abstract
An electrical component package comprises an insulator housing of thermoplastic material having a hollow base and a cover. The hollow base supports and locates an electrical component longitudinally in a component cavity and holds and positions the component leads in terminal cavities at opposite longitudinal ends of the component cavity. Insulation displacement terminals are then inserted into the terminal cavities establishing electrical connections with the positioned component leads. The hollow base is then partially filled with a sealant material after which the electric component package is installed on a pair of electric cables by closing the cover to push the electric cables down into insulation displacement slots of the respective terminals.
