Abstract
An insulation displacement connector for flat cable comprising an insulating housing and one piece terminals, each having a mating contact portion and a slotted plate wire connecting portion joined by a conducting lead portion. All the mating contact portions are mounted in a common plane at the mating face as a row extending transversely of a mating direction and the wire connecting portions are arranged as four rows extending transversely of the cable axis and at predetermined spacings apart in an axially rearward direction. Respective wire connecting portions of first and third rows being at predetermined transverse separations from respective adjacent wire connecting portions of the second and fourth rows, respectively, and conducting lead portions of the first and second rows are crooked upward and transversly of the axis so that respective wire connecting portions of the third and fourth rows are axially aligned behind them and at a lower level so that respective flat cable conductors can be terminated therein at the two levels without interfering with each other.
