Solderless mountable insulation displacement connector

摘要

A wire-connection terminal (200) is formed with a mounting base portion (204) having a bottom edge (202) portion of which is dimensioned to align flush with a top surface of a wire board (12), a wire-connection portion projecting above the mounting base portion (204), and a wire board mounting part (220) projecting below the mounting base portion. The mounting part is dimensioned and arranged to engage a corresponding opening (228) in a wire board (12) on which the connector terminal (200) is to be mounted. The mounting base portion (204) forms a shoulder (218) that protrudes a certain distance from the wire-connection portion such that the terminal can be held in place when mounted, e.g., on a wire board inside a high frequency communication jack with the shoulder confronting a fixed part of the jack.
