An Insulation Displacement Contact Connector (10) includes a housing (12) with a plurality of contacts (16) therein wherein the housing (12) has a mating end (18) and an opposite connection end (22) for respective engagement with a complementary connector and flat cable (100) therewith. Each contact (16) has a mating section (30) adapted to be positioned in the mating end (18) of the connector (10), and an attachment section (32) adapted to be positioned in the connection end (22) of the connector (10). An auxiliary support (52) is securely attached to and substantially disposed within the connection end (22) of the connector (10) for efficiently maintaining the contacts (16) in position especially in the lengthwise direction of the contact (16). A cover (28) is attached to the connection end (22) of the connector (10) wherein the auxiliary support (52)is substantially embedded within the housing (12) and covered by the cover (28).
