An insulation-displacement terminal fitting

摘要

To restrict a loose movement of a wire in its longitudinal direction and securely cut a coating of the wire open. ÄSolutionÜ Each insulation-displacement portion 17 to be connected with a wire W by insulation displacement is comprised of a pair of base portions 18 projecting inwardly in two positions of a corresponding side wall 12 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the wire W, and a blade portion 19 formed by folding and further projecting inwardly from the base portions 18. While the wire W is being pushed in between the insulation-displacement portions 17, a coating Wa can be securely cut open since the folded blade portions 19 are sharply brought into contact with the coating Wa. Even if a pushing or pulling force acts on the wire W in its longitudinal direction after the wire W is connected by insulation displacement, deformations of the insulation-displacement portions 17 in the longitudinal direction of the wire W are restricted by the base portions 18 projecting in two positions of each side wall 12. Therefore, a loose movement of the wire W in its longitudinal direction can be securely prevented. <IMAGE>
