Abstract:
1. A modular connector insulation displacement contact comprising: at least one electrically conductive body configured to be mounted within a modular connector, said body having a first surface and a second surface, said body further including: a connector terminal positioned on the first surface of the body, wherein said terminal is configured to transmit an electrical signal; a stripping blade angularly protruding from between the first surface and the second surface of the body, said stripping blade configured to strip insulation of a wire compressively slid upon said blade and electrically expose a conductive element of the wire; and a wire contact positioned at the second surface of the body adjacent the stripping blade, wherein said wire contact is configured to receive electrical signals from said exposed conductive element of said wire when said exposed conductive element of said wire is compressed against said wire contact.
