Abstract
An insulation displacement contact (IDC) strain relief cap to interconnect a wire with an electrical contact is disclosed. The strain relief cap has a “U” shaped end to engage and retain the wire and is engageable with the contact. Means in the form of two star shaped openings are provided on the strain relief cap to retain the wire whereby the electrical contact, wire, and strain relief cap may be moved as a single unit. The star shaped openings and “U” shaped member allow for flexible retention of the wire to the strain relief cap.
