An insulation-displacement contact ( IDC ), also known as insulation-piercing contact ( IPC ), is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor(s) of an insulated cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blade or blades through the insulation , bypassing the need to strip the conductors of insulation before connecting. When properly made, the connector blade cold-welds to the conductor, making a theoretically reliable gas-tight connection.

The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on. On the cable,

Punch-down terminations are also generally seen in telephone and network connectors, in patch panels and distribution frames , and in telephone equipment such as PBXs . Pins are commonly numbered from pin 1 with odd numbers along one side and the even numbers along the other side. Connectors are categorized by pin spacing in mm (pitch), number of pins, and number of rows. Connectors commonly used in computers include: For all of

Modular connectors used with Category 5 twisted pair cable require careful arranging of the conductors by hand before inserting them into the connector. Punch-down blocks are intended to connect individual conductors punched down into each position in

The benefits claimed for their use in these applications include up to 50 percent faster installation, due to the reduction in the stripping, twisting and screwing down processes . Ribbon cable is designed to be used with multi-contact IDC connectors in such a way that many IDC connections can be made at once, saving time in applications where many connections are needed. These connectors are not designed to be reusable, but can often be re-used if care

In some types of telephone and network plug, including the BS 6312 and the registered jack (RJ) family, generally separate wires in a sheath are used. In these applications, the outer sheath is stripped then the wires are inserted into the connector and a special termination tool is used to force

Although originally designed to connect only solid (single-stranded) conductors, IDC technology was eventually extended to multiple- stranded wire as well. Initially, IDCs were seen only in extra-low voltage applications, such as telecommunications , networking and signal connections between parts of an electronic or computer system. However, they are now also used in some domestic and industrial low voltage (power) applications, as can be seen in
