Abstract:
1. An insulation displacement contact for the wiring of a cable strand, comprising: a cutter section comprising two contact blades between which the insulation-surrounded conductor of the cable strand can be inserted by a movement relative to the insulation displacement contact in a wiring direction in the direction of a distal end of the cutter section, whereby the contact blades cut into the insulation and contact the conductor, wherein the contact blades are disjoined from one another throughout a region of the cutter section; a first fork section comprising a first fork with two first fork prongs; and a second fork section comprising a second fork with two second fork prongs; wherein the first fork section and the second fork section each are angled relative to the cutter section; wherein ends of the fork prongs of the first fork adjoin to a proximal end of the cutter section, whereby the first fork furnishes a contrary elastic spring force upon the moving apart of the proximal ends of the contact blades; and wherein ends of the fork prongs of the second fork adjoin to a distal end of the cutter section and the second fork furnishes a contrary elastic spring force upon the moving-apart of the distal ends of the contact blades.
