An inline cable connector assembly connects one or more twisted pairs of wire leads of a first cable to one or more twisted pairs of wire leads to a second cable. The assembly includes first and second terminal housing parts, first and second wiring caps, and double ended insulation displacement contacts within the connector assembly.

The invention relates to a contact for a direct plug-in connector having two strips made of sheet-metal material that are arranged next to one another in an insertion portion and in a contact portion, wherein the insertion portion is provided for insertion into a through-opening, which is electrically conductive at its inner wall, in a printed circuit board and the contact portion is provided to make electrical contact with the inner wall of the through-opening, wherein the two strips are connected together in a connection portion that is provided for connecting to a cable strand, and wherein a connecting portion is located between the connection portion and the contact portion, wherein the two strips are located in a common plane and formed in an L-shaped manner in the connecting portion, wherein the legs of the connecting portion that proceed from the connection portion extend parallel to one another and the legs of the connecting portion that are connected to the contact portion extend towards one another.

A contact includes a base portion, a cold-weld portion extending upward from the base portion and having a cold-weld slot into which an electric wire is configured to be cold-welded, a trailing portion extending downward by being folded back downward from an upper end of the cold-weld portion, and a contact portion extending from a lower end of the trailing portion. The trailing portion has a press-fitted portion below the cold-weld slot that is press-fitted into the housing. The contact portion makes contact with a mating contact by receiving the mating contact in a space between the contact portion and the base portion.

An insulation displacement contact (IDC) cluster includes a plurality of IDC cluster modular units each having a plurality of receptacles adjacent to one another in a row. Each of the receptacles receives an IDC terminal. A first IDC cluster modular unit of the IDC cluster modular units is coupled to a second IDC cluster modular unit of the IDC cluster modular units to form a modular structure by stacking and fastening together, arranging the receptacles of the IDC cluster modular units in parallel rows.

A wire connector includes a base portion, a first portion extending from a first side of the base portion, and a second portion extending from a second side of the base portion, the second side being opposite the first side. Each of the first portion and the second portion are bent relative to the base portion toward a central axis of the connector. Each of the first portion and the second portion includes a first contact member and a second contact member, each of the first contact member and second contact member being structured to bend toward the central axis of the connector.
