Insulation displacement contact with expanded wire range capacity

An insulation displacement contact comprising:

• insulation displacement arms which define a conductor or wire receiving slot, the insulation displacement arms having insulation stripping sections, weakened sections and base sections, the insulation stripping sections having stamped areas which form cutting edges, the cutting edges define the insulation stripping zone of the wire receiving slot, the weakened sections having weakened section widths which are less than insulation stripping section widths of the insulation stripping sections and less than base section widths of the base section, an opening provided in the base section at the end of the wire receiving slot;
• the wire receiving slot is configured to receive one or more insulated conductors therein, the wire receiving slot having an insulation stripping zone and a wire termination zone, the insulation stripping zone being adjacent to the insulation stripping sections of the insulation displacement arms, the wire termination zone being adjacent to the weakened sections of the insulation displacement arms, the insulation stripping zone width of the insulation stripping zone is greater than the wire termination zone width of the wire termination zone;
• wherein the weakened sections are resiliently deformed upon the one or more insulated conductors engaging the insulation stripping sections of the insulation displacement arms as the one or more insulated conductors are inserted into the insulation stripping zone of the wire receiving slot;
• wherein the opening allows for the control movement of the insulation displacement arms relative and independent to each other.
