Abstract
An assembly for forming a solderless insulation displacement wiring connection of electrical wires, includes a modular contact mount. At least two insulation displacement contacts are located within the contact mount. Each displacement contact has an insulation displacer region formed on an end thereof. An arrangement is provided for gripping both an incoming wire and an extending wire inserted into the assembly. The arrangement is movable to press a selected wire into the respective insulation displacer region when the assembly means is pressed downward toward the contact mount, to form a disconnectable through-connection of the incoming and outgoing wires.
