Patent ID: 8062058

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: an insulation displacement connector (IDC) for electrically intermediating between a conductor wire and an electrical element, said IDC having a conductor portion, said conductor portion being conductive to electricity and having a pair of spaced arms between which the wire may be received and a contact portion in electrical continuity with the conductor portion, said contact portion adapted to be connected to the electrical element, and an insulator portion, said insulator portion being formed from a material that is electrically non-conductive and being attached to said conductor portion intermediate said pair of spaced arms and said contact portion, said insulator portion extending from said conductor portion in a generally perpendicular direction; wherein the conductor portion includes at least one aperture therethrough, the at least one aperture positioned intermediate said pair of spaced arms and said contact portion, said at least one aperture housing at least a portion of said insulator portion material; and wherein at least a portion of said insulator portion material housed in said at least one aperture extends through said at least one aperture.
