Abstract
An insulation-displacement terminal has opposed side walls ( ) and a wire-receiving space therebetween. V-shaped insulation-displacement portions ( ) are formed by a pair of plates ( F, R) that are bent from the side walls ( ) and project into the wire-receiving space. A bending angle (&bgr;) between one plate ( R) and the side wall ( ) is larger than a bending angle (&agr;) between the other plate ( F) and the side wall ( ). A pulling force on the wire (W) does not make a loose movement since the bending angle of the plate ( F) located at the side behind with respect to a pulling direction is a right angle. Further, since the bending angle (&bgr;) between the plate ( R) and the side wall is larger, an angle (&ggr;) between the plates ( F) and ( R) of the insulation-displacement portion ( ) is sufficiently large to ensure a wide contact area with a core (Wb) of the wire (W). Thus, a high contact reliability can be secured.
