Insulation displacement terminal

摘要

A one-piece terminal structure includes a mounting section for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on a circuit board. A terminating section is provided for connection to an electrical wire and includes at least three generally parallel slotted walls. The walls have aligned slots with mouths for receiving the electrical wire. A center one of the walls has an insulation displacement slot for cutting through outer insulation of the wire and engaging an inner conductor of the wire. A pair of outside ones of the three walls on opposite sides of the center wall have strain relief slots for clamping onto the outer insulation of the wire.
