INSULATION DISPLACEMENT CONTACT AND INSULATION DISPLACEMENT CONTACT ASSEMBLY FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

摘要

The invention relates to an insulation displacement contact (1) for piercing an insulation (107) of a cable or wire (91) in a cutting direction (11) and for electrically contacting an electrically conductive core (109) of the cable or wire (91), the insulation displacement contact (1) comprising a contact body (7) with a piercing section (9) for the piercing of the insulation (107) and a contact slot (25) for receiving the core (109) of the cable or wire (91), the contact slot (25) extending along the cutting direction (11) from the piercing section (9) into the contact body (9), the piercing section (9) comprising at least two blades (37) that are separated by the contact slot (25). Solutions of the art have the disadvantage that an insufficient normal contact force (F) may be provided, which reduces the quality of the electrical connection. The inventive insulation displacement contact (1) improves prior art solutions in that the at least two blades (37) comprise at least two attachment slots (39), the attachment slots (39) extending from the piercing section (9) into the blades (37).
