A cable connector assembly including: a cable including a number of core wires, each core wire including an insulative layer and an inner conductor; and an electrical connector connected with an end of the cable, the electrical connector including an insulative housing, a number of contacts retained in the insulative housing, a shell member enclosing the insulative housing, a cover member assembled on a rear end of the insulative housing for fixing the core wires, and a carrying member connected between the cover member and the insulative housing, each of the contacts including a mounting portion rearwardly exposed to the insulative housing, wherein each of the mounting portion defines a spines portion, the cover member defines a number of through holes receiving the core wires, and the insulative layer of the core wire is punctured by the spines portion when the cover member is mounted on the carrying member.

An insulation displacement connector includes an insulation displacement contact and a twisting member. The insulation displacement contact includes a base and a pair of insulation displacement pieces extending from the base. A wire is press-fit into a wire press-fit slot formed between the pair of insulation displacement pieces, and thereby a core wire of the wire comes into contact with the pair of insulation displacement pieces. The twisting member mates with the insulation displacement contact and thereby twists the wire so that the orientation of a line segment changes when viewed from above.

Disclosed is an enclosure (100) for insulation piercing connector (306). The enclosure (100) includes a first cover portion (202) and a second cover portion (206), designed to provide environmental barrier for insulation piercing connectors (IPC). The first cover portion (202) features a first inner surface (202a) with a peripheral groove (202b) extending along its edges and a clamping structure (204) on the inner surface, which securely holds multiple cables (304a-304n) connected via the IPC (306). The second cover portion (206), hingedly connected to the first, includes a second inner surface (206a) with a matching peripheral groove (206b) along its edges. The first and second peripheral grooves (202b, 206b) are configured to accommodate a gel sealant (302) that forms watertight environmental barrier around the enclosure (100), protecting the IPC and associated cables from contaminants and environmental stressors. This design ensures durability, reliability, and effective protection for electrical connections in outdoor settings.
