A connector, with which an electrical wire is attachable, is connectable with a mating connector which has a mating contact portion. The connector comprises a housing and at least one terminal. The housing is provided with a support. The support has a receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a part of the electrical wire. The at least one terminal has an insulation displacement connection (IDC) portion, a contact portion, a supporting portion and a coupling portion. The IDC portion is configured to be insulation-displacement connected with the electrical wire. The support is positioned between the IDC portion and the supporting portion in a first predetermined direction. The coupling portion couples the IDC portion and the supporting portion with each other. The coupling portion has a neighboring portion. The neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction.

An electrical connection system includes a mounting stud having a base configured for mounting to a conductive surface. One or more one ring-shaped lugs, formed of an electrically conductive material, are configured for being positioned on the mounting stud for surrounding the mounting stud. The ring-shaped lug includes one or a plurality of interior channels extending around the inside diameter thereof. A contact spring is seated within a respective interior channel and is electrically conductive and dimensioned to extend radially inwardly from the channel and contact the mounting stud when the ring-shaped lug is positioned thereon. The contact spring is configured to at least partially collapse in the radial direction and to provide a spring bias against the mounting stud for providing an electrical connection between the ring-shaped lug and mounting stud. A locking cap is positioned on the mounting stud over the at least one ring-shaped lug for locking with the mounting stud and securing the ring-shaped lugs on the mounting stud for a secure electrical connection.

A contact for a wire-to-wire electrical connector includes a first contact portion defining a first wire receiving opening to receive a first wire and a second wire receiving opening to receive a second wire. The contact further includes a splice contact portion abutting the first contact portion and defining a third wire receiving opening to receive a third wire. The first contact portion also includes a first plurality of contact tines to electrically connect the first wire and the second wire and the splice contact portion includes a second plurality of contact tines to electrically connect the third wire to the first wire and the second wire.
