A barrel plug for an insulated electrical cable, a power cord and a method of manufacturing the barrel plug. The barrel plug comprises: (1) an annular outer terminal having an outer terminal extension extending from an end thereof and terminating in a first insulation displacement terminal, (2) an inner terminal located coaxially within the annular outer terminal and having an inner terminal extension extending from an end thereof and terminating in a second insulation displacement terminal and (3) an insulative housing having a first end for receiving the outer and inner terminals, the housing holding the outer and inner terminals in a predetermined location to place the first and second insulation displacement terminals in a predetermined alignment, the housing further having a second end for receiving the electrical cable, the first and second insulation displacement terminals adapted to displace an insulation of the electrical cable to make electrical contact with respective first and second conductors of the electrical cable to thereby electrically couple the outer and inner terminals to the electrical cable for transmission of electrical current therebetween.
