Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a waterproof insulation displacement connector, comprising the steps of:inserting, in a watertight manner, an electric wire into an insertion hole of a rubber stopper; providing the rubber stopper on a rear surface of a housing that defines a plurality of cavities, each of the plurality of cavities accommodating a pressure-connection terminal and having a pressure connection opening formed on a surface thereof; inserting the electric wire through the insertion hole of said rubber stopper to place a front end of said electric wire in the vicinity of a front end of said pressure-connection opening, such that the front end of said electric wire is pressed against said pressure-connection terminal to connect said electric wire with said pressure-connection terminal; and projecting, in a direction opposite to a pressure-connection direction, a receiving tool that is provided immediately forward from said rubber stopper to connect said electric wire with said pressure-connection terminal, while said receiving tool is receiving a root portion of said electric wire projecting forward from said rubber stopper.
