Abstract
A field-attachable contact assembly includes a contact having a seat portion which includes a wire-receiving aperture having a generally circular portion for receiving an insulated wire and a narrowing V-shaped portion for establishing an insulation displacement connection with the wire. A pusher includes a slot for receiving the seat of the contact, and an aperture which, when aligned with the circular portion of the contact opening, receives the wire. The pusher is then pushed onto the contact to establish an IDC electrical connection between the contact and the wire.
