Abstract
An integrated insulation displacement terminal includes an IDC assembly with a pair of pivotably mounted wings and a lacing cap assembly with a lacing cap, locking cam nut and deflectable contact ring. The IDC assembly has two rows of IDC terminals mounted on one side and the lacing cap assembly has a lacing cap with two corresponding rows of receiving holes. Each wing pivoted to the IDC base assembly has two pressing portions corresponding to the two rows of IDC terminals so when the wings are rotated to press the lacing cap such that each of the IDC terminals is inserted into one of the receiving holes and each wire is introduced in the corresponding IDC terminal. Each wing has an axial cable guide engaged by the cam nut when the assembly is locked by rotating the cam nut to secure the two assemblies in place and ground the cable.
