Abstract
An electrical wiring harness assembly including a flex cable comprising electrical conductors; and a plurality of insulation displacement connection (IDC) terminals connected to the conductors of the flex cable. The IDC terminals each include a base section, wire insulation displacement sections connected to the base section and having insulation displacement slots, and sets of teeth extending from the base section which extend through the conductors and are outwardly deformed on an opposite side of the flex cable from the base section. The IDC terminals are adapted to connect electrical wires directly to the conductors of the flex cable.
