Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electrical contact in which the thickness of the stock material is greater than the width of an insulation displacement slot provided therein. The contact is manufactured utilizing conventional stamping and forming operations to create an insulation displacement slot which could not be previously manufactured using these techniques. The contact has a wire receiving section and a mounting section integrally attached to the wire receiving section. Thinned areas are coined or formed on either side of the insulation displacement slot, thereby causing the width of the insulation displacement slot to be dimensioned to receive and terminate the fine wires therein.
