An insulation-displacement terminal fitting

摘要

To securely cut an insulation coating open to prevent it from projecting beyond side walls. ÄSolutionÜ <??>While a wire W is being pushed in, an insulation coating Wb is cut open by V-shaped contact portions 23 after having cuts C made by blades 27 in the form of a single plate. Since a cut-open piece Wc of the insulation coating Wb caught by the contact portions 23 is not forcibly stretched, a core Wa is not pulled in such a direction to be withdrawn from a clearance between the contact portions 23 due to the cut-open piece Wc having got caught. Since an accommodation space 30 in which the cut-open piece Wc of the insulation coating Wb caught by the contact portions 23 is accommodated is located within a height range of side walls 21, the cut-open piece Wc of the insulation coating Wb does not project above the side walls 21. <IMAGE>
