Abstract
An insulation displacement contact comprises an electrically conductive contact body including a mounting portion that is configured to receive a complementary electrical component so as to contact an electrical terminal of the complementary electrical component, and a mating portion configured to attach to an electrical cable, the mating portion including a slot that extends into the contact body, and at least one piercing member that at least partially defines the slot such that, when the slot receives an electrical cable, the piercing member pierces an outer electrically insulative layer of the electrical cable and contacts an electrical conductor of the electrical cable that is disposed inside the electrically insulative layer.
