Insulation-displacement connector.

摘要

An insulation-displacement connector is disclosed which includes an insulation-displacement connection terminal(20)-equipped housing (10) having first engaging grooves (11) for holding a cable pushing member (30) an initial state, second engaging grooves (13) for fixedly holding a conductor(42)-exposed cable (40) in a slot (22) of the connection terminal (20) for connection to the connection terminal, and guide grooves (12) provided between the first and second engaging grooves to allow the pushing member (30) to be held. After a cable (40) having insulation layer (41) has been placed over a tapered opening (21) of the connection terminal, the pushing member (30) is forced down along the guide grooves (12) with the cable (40) compressed over the tapered opening (21) and held there temporarily. Then the pushing member (30) is further pushed to allow the cable (40) to be pinched in the slot (22) of the connection terminal.
