1. An insulation displacement contact, comprising:
a mounting portion configured to mounted onto a substrate so as to place the insulation displacement contact in electrical communication with the substrate; and a first arm that extends out with respect to the mounting portion, the first arm defining a first insulation displacement slot; a second arm that extends out with respect to the mounting portion, the second arm defining a second insulation displacement slot; wherein the first and insulation displacement slots are aligned with each other along a longitudinal direction so that when an electrical cable extends through the both insulation displacement slots along the longitudinal direction, respective first and second piercing members that at least partially define respective ones of the first and second insulation displacement slots pierce an outer electrically insulative layer of the electrical cable and contact an electrical conductor of the electrical cable that is disposed inside the electrically insulative layer. |
