An insulation displacement connector for terminating a ribbon cable consists of a connector housing, a number of contacts received in the connector housing, a locating member connected with the connector housing and a termination cover also connected with the connector housing. Each of the contacts has a tab extending through a contact passage in the connector housing, a piercing device received in a recess in the termination cover, and a connecting section located between the tab and the piercing device and fixedly received in a locating hole defined in the locating member. The locating member has two lateral sides each making up a pair of guides extending into the termination cover. The guides restrain and guide the movement of the outer insulation piercing points of the piercing device at the outermost contacts located most distant from the middle line amid two lateral sides of the connector housing, when the connector housing, which has been assembled with the contacts and the locating member, connects the termination cover and terminates the cable.
