Abstract
An insulation displacement connector having two deformable tangs forming a receiving pocket in which a wire may be placed, the deformable tangs adapted to be curled around the wire to create a secure connection that is resistant to disconnection by movement. Also disclosed is a method for creating the secure connection. A solenoid assembly that employs the disclosed insulation displacement connector that reduces the risk of a disconnection is also described. Also disclosed is a device that secures wires to the disclosed insulation displacement connector.
Claims6
A solenoid assembly comprising;
- a bobbin having a first and second terminal end and at least one connector slot located at the first terminal end, the connector slot operable to receive at least one insulation displacement connector;
- a magnet wire wound on the bobbin that is connected to the insulation displacement connector;
- one or more lead wires having a length of wire connected at one end to the insulation displacement connector at the first terminal end of the bobbin, the one or more lead wires extending along the length of the bobbin and the second terminal end of the bobbin;
- and
- an encapsulation layer disposed on the bobbin isolating the one or more lead wires so that the one or more lead wires extend from the second terminal end.
