Abstract:
1. An electrical appliance comprising: an insulation displacement connector; and a housing having a holding chamber and an insert slot, wherein the holding chamber is configured to receive an electrical component axially inserted through an opening of the holding chamber into the holding chamber for holding the electrical component to the housing, wherein the insert slot is configured to receive the insulation displacement connector for holding the insulation displacement connector to the housing; wherein the holding chamber is further configured to completely surround, at least in sections, an electrical component received in the holding chamber such that the holding chamber prevents an electrical component received in the holding chamber from radially exiting out from the holding chamber and prevents an electrical component from being radially inserted into the holding chamber while enabling an electrical component to be axially inserted through the opening of the holding chamber into the holding chamber; wherein the holding chamber further includes a radially-pivotable latching clip at the opening of the holding chamber, wherein the latching clip radially projects into the holding chamber and axially fixes in place an electrical component received in the holding chamber; wherein the insulation displacement connector is configured to electrically contact both of an electric connector of an electrical component received in the housing and a printed circuit board mounted to the housing upon insertion of the insulation displacement connector into the insert slot.
