Abstract
A connector for a coaxial cable having a braid layer includes a housing and a shield configured to receive the housing. An insulation displacement contact (IDC) is formed on the shield. The IDC includes a contact wall and a prong. The contact wall defines and extends along a contact wall plane. The prong is displaced laterally out of the contact wall plane. An edge of the contact wall and an edge of the prong define a gap therebetween that is sized to receive a braid wire of the cable.
