Insulation displacement type contacts (3) each having a receptacle portion (9) are individually held in compartments (4) that are formed in an insulated housing (2). A stationary die (21) temporarily holds an electric connector (1) having such contacts (3). A punch (22) facing and cooperating with this die (21) will reciprocate vertically to press wire ends (15) into the receptacle portions (9) so as to establish electric connection between each wire end (15) and each portion (9). In order to protect these portions (9) from being forcibly widened when an insulation displacement operation is done, a pair of upright guards (31,32) formed integral with a supporting plate (33) are disposed in the die (21). These guards (31,32) are spaced from one another a distance equal to the sideways width of the insulated housing (2), so that its end walls (6,6) are propped up by these guards from the outside. Thus, a means is provided to protect the receptacle portions (9) from being widened, at the same time enabling this apparatus to be composed from simple and cheap parts easy to replace with each other. <IMAGE>
