Abstract
An insulation displacement joint connector has a connector housing provided with a contact terminal into which a plurality of wires are press-fitted. The terminal is provided with wire fitting parts protruding from the connector housing. With the joint connector stacked on another joint connector with the same structure, the fitting parts of one joint connector are connected to wires in another joint connector by press fitting. Thus the use of a fewer number of joint connectors allows desired wire harness assembly, saving space and decreasing cost.
Claims11
An insulation displacement joint connector assembly comprising:
- a plurality of stacked insulation displacement connectors each comprising:
- a connector housing;
- and
- a contact terminal connected to a plurality of wires, the terminal having a plurality of first insulation displacing parts that are protruded from the connector housing and are pressed to wires in a neighboring connector for contact.
A wire harness comprising:
- a first insulated wire;
- a second insulated wire;
- and
- a conductive plate interposed between the first insulated wire and the second insulated wire, the conductive plate having one side and another side, the conductive plate having the first insulated wire positioned on the one side, the conductive plate having the second insulated wire positioned on the another side, the conductive plate having a first end and a second end
- the conductive plate comprising:
- a first displacing part of bent first end to extend to the first insulated wire to be pressed for contact;
- and
- a second displacing part of bent second end to extend to the second insulated wire to be pressed for contact.
