Claim:
A single molding electrical insulation displacement connector (IDC) assembly, comprising: a cap body having a top side, end walls, and side walls, at least one of said side walls having a passage therethrough at a contact position for receipt of an insulated conductive core wire therein; a contact element movably retained in said cap body with a first insulation displacement end defined by opposed blades and a second opposite end configured for electrical contact with a printed circuit board (PCB); said contact element movable relative to said cap body from a first position wherein said opposed blades do not block insertion of the insulated core wire into said cap body through said passage to a second position wherein said opposed blades engage the insulated core wire; and wherein the insulated core wire is initially inserted into said cap body through said passage with said contact element in said first position, and said cap body is subsequently pressed towards said second end of said contact element causing said opposed blades to slide within said cap body and engage the insulated core wire.
