A method secures wire to an electrical contact using an insulation displacement contact (IDC) strain relief cap. The electrical contact has a bifurcated end for engaging and retaining the wire and is engaged with the strain relief cap in securing the wire. The cap attaches to the contact via means on the electrical contact for engaging both the cap and the wire. The wire is secured by placing cap onto the contact, aligning the wire with exit holes, and turning cap until locked into place.
