An insulation displacement connector (IDC) assembly comprises a header member for being fixed to a circuit board and retaining a plurality of pins therein, a socket member having a pair of engaging portions and retaining a plurality of terminals having piercing portions for terminating a flat flexible cable, a termination cover for pressing the cable to engage with the piercing portions of the terminals and forming a pair of engaging members for engaging with the corresponding engaging portions of the socket member, and a latching member having a pair of latching devices for securing a subassembly of the termination cover and the socket member to the header member. Each engaging portion of the socket member forms upper latching bars and a lower detent for engaging with the corresponding engaging member of the termination cover in two separate steps, whereby a preferable type of flat flexible cable may be selected to be terminated with the IDC assembly.
