An insulation displacement contact has a tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis toward an open end. The tubular body has a pair of cutting edges at the open end. The tubular body has a pair of opposing side surfaces each having a slot extending to the open end and disposed between the cutting edges. The slot on one of the opposing side surfaces is a contacting slot and the slot on the other of the opposing side surfaces is a positioning slot. A first clear width of the contacting slot is less than a second clear width of the positioning slot.

A back shell is described herein. The back shell is configured to be attached to a connector body defining a first attaching feature in its outer surface. The back shell has an attachment portion defining a second attaching feature and a generally tubular support portion extending from this attachment portion. The second attaching feature is configured to engage the first attaching feature of the connector body to secure the back shell to the connector body. An outer surface of the attachment portion of the back shell defines a third attaching feature that is identical in configuration and function to the first attaching feature.

An electrical connector includes a base. A lower clamp is connected to the base. The lower clamp includes a conductor groove for receiving a conductor. The conductor has an axial direction and a radial direction. An inner clamp is connected to the base and moveable with respect to the lower clamp. An upper clamp is connected to the base and moveable with respect to the lower clamp. A first insulation piercing member is connected to the lower clamp. The first insulation piercing member includes a plurality of first teeth. The plurality of first teeth are spaced from one another in the radial direction. A second insulation piercing member is connected to the inner clamp. A third insulation piercing member is connected to the upper clamp.
