Abstract
An electrical terminal assembly comprising an electrical terminal has an insulation displacement contact having a base portion from which extend a pair of coplanar arms defining a slot for receiving an insulated lead. A restraining flange projecting from the top of each arm at right-angles to its plane terminates in a foot which is received in a well in a housing having a cavity receiving the terminal assembly. The well is dimensioned to allow the foot to move parallel to the plane of the arms but not at the right angles thereto. The arms cannot, therefor, twist about their longitudinal axes under the lead insertion force, but can move in their own planes to accommodate the metal cone of the lead as it is forced into the slot.
