Abstract
An electrical terminal for contacting a conductive core of an insulated wire includes first and second insulation displacement slots for receiving the insulated wire thus effecting insulation displacement termination of the received wire, wherein the first insulation displacement slot is spaced apart from the second insulation displacement slot. First and second support walls each extend from the first insulation displacement slot to the second insulation displacement slot. At least one of the first and second support wall is at least sectionally arched away from the respective other support wall.
Claims20
Electrical terminal for contacting a conductive core of an insulated wire, the electrical terminal comprising:
- a first and second insulation displacement slot each for at least partly receiving therein the insulated wire thus effecting insulation displacement termination of the received wire, wherein the first insulation displacement slot is spaced apart from the second insulation displacement slot;
- and
- a first and second support wall each extending from the first insulation displacement slot to the second insulation displacement slot, wherein the second support wall is arranged opposite of the first support wall with respect to the first and second insulation displacement slot;
- and wherein at least one of the first and second support wall is at least sectionally arched away from the respective other support wall.
Connection assembly comprising:
- an insulated wire formed by a conductive core surrounded by an insulative layer;
- and
- an electrical terminal including a first and second insulation displacement slot each for at least partly receiving therein the insulated wire thus effecting insulation displacement termination of the received wire, wherein the first insulation displacement slot is spaced apart from the second insulation displacement slot, the electrical terminal including a first and second support wall each extending from the first insulation displacement slot to the second insulation displacement slot, wherein the second support wall is arranged opposite of the first support wall with respect to the first and second insulation displacement slot, wherein at least one of the first and second support wall is at least sectionally arched away from the respective other support wall;
- wherein the insulated wire is at least partly received in the first and second insulation displacement slot, and wherein the first and second support wall each at least partly pierce through the insulative layer and contact the conductive core.
