摘要 |
An insulation displacement connector is described, of the type that includes a cap (26) that can push a ribbon cable or discrete wires (12) into insulation displacement contacts (20) projecting from the top of an insulative body (14) until the cap latches to the body, which provides strain relief for the cable in a simple construction. The cap includes a cover part (44) that presses down on the cable and an elongated cable support (60) lying under one side of the cover part to enable the cable to be threaded between the cover part and the cable support. The cable support is connected to the cover part by bendable arms (74,76), and the insulative body has a deflecting surface (90) that deflects the cable support upwardly as the cap is pushed down, to squeeze the cable between the cable support (60) and the side (46) of the cover part for strain relief. |
