An insulation displacement electrical power connector 10 includes a passageway 16 for receiving the cable 26 and cutting edges 28, 30, 32 of respective insulation displacement contacts for cutting into the insulated conductors of the cable to make separate electrical connections thereto when received in the passageway. The cutting edges project up through the floor of the passageway and are aligned longitudinally with the passageway. A movable press 14 is located adjacent to the passageway 16 and is movable between a first position where it allows access of the cable 26 into the passageway and a second position where it presses against the cable 26 and forces it against the cutting edges 28, 30, 32. This causes the cutting edges to cut through the cable 26 and make separate electrical connections to the conductors in the cable substantially simultaneously and longitudinally with reference to the direction of the cable in the passageway. |
