Abstract
A wire connecting unit for an electrical connector includes a printed circuit board and four pairs of terminals. The printed circuit board has nose and termination areas, and a wire receiving passageway extending along an axis in the termination area. Contact connections are mounted in the nose area. Terminal connections are mounted in the termination area. Conductive paths on the circuit board electrically couple respective contact connections and terminal connections. Each of the terminals has a coupling portion mechanically and electrically coupled through one of the terminal connections, and has a insulation displacement contact portion. Each insulation displacement contact portion is adjacent the wire receiving passageway. The terminals of each pair have spacings between them which are smaller than the spacings between the pairs.
