The invention relates to an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) contact element for an electrical plug. Contact elements shown in the prior art are very big, which makes them unsuitable for high frequency and especially large bandwidth transmissions. Thus, the object of the invention is to increase signal transmission rates for data plugs using IDC technology and provide an IDC contact element for high frequency and large bandwidth transmission especially at least up to 500MHz named category 6A according to I EC 60603-7-51 for electrical cable that is more compact. This object is achieved by an IDC contact element comprising at least one wire contact section being adapted to cut through an insulation of a cable and contact a wire of the cable, the wire contact section having an opening at a proximal end of the IDC contact element, and at least one second contact section being adapted to contact an external element, the contact section comprising: a contact point, and a contact spring, wherein the opening of the wire contact section and a contact point are located at the proximal end of the IDC contact element. |
