Abstract
An insulation displacement contact for engaging an electrical lead, wherein the contact has opposing contact arms and each arm includes a cutting surface followed, along the direction of insertion of the lead, by a contacting surface, both surfaces being arranged opposite the corresponding surface on the other arm, where the resiliency of the arms at the cutting surface is less than the resiliency of the arms at the contacting surface. The structure enabling reliable insulation parting, assures an effective interconnection with a conductor over time, and enables a wider range of conductive cores to be accommodated.
