Abstract: A connector for a coaxial cable and process for employing same. The connector includes first and second insulation displacement contacts which are arranged insulated from one another along a contact axis. Prongs are provided for stabilizing electrical connection between a first of the contact and a shield. The first contact also includes a system for aligning the prongs with the shield which is operative for a range of cable sizes.

Abstract: An insulation displacement connector contact and process for electrically contacting a conductor by displacement of an insulating layer. The contact comprises a member including a slot having a desired width. The slot is defined by opposing legs of the member and a non-linear deformable web connecting the legs. By deforming the web it is possible to change the desired width of the slot to thereby adapt the contact to various conductor sizes. An electrical connector preferably adapted for terminating a coaxial cable on a printed circuit board employs such contacts.
