Abstract
An insulation displacement contact includes a pair of insulation displacement blades and a pair of resilient contact pieces. The pair of insulation displacement blades are opposite to each other with their bases connected to each other such that there is formed, by their inner sides, a slot for receiving an insulated wire of which core wire portion is covered with an insulation. The pair of insulation displacement blades are arranged such that when the insulated wire is inserted into the slot, the insulation is cut and the core wire portion comes in press-contact with the insulation displacement blades. Each of the pair of resilient contact pieces is made of a plate member which is connected to the outer side of each insulation displacement blade, which extends toward the side opposite of the inlet of the slot up to a position exceeding the base of each insulation displacement blade, which has a contact portion for holding or nipping a mating contact at a position opposite of the slot inlet with respect to the base of each insulation displacement blade, and which has, between the connection portion connected to the outer side of each insulation displacement blade and the contact portion, a tapering portion of which width is gradually narrowed in the direction toward the contact portion.
