ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electrical connector assembly for connecting an insulated wire conductor to another circuit member. The connector assembly includes a housing having a terminal receiving cavity therein, a terminal mounted in the cavity having an insulation displacement slot for receiving a wire conductor therein, and means for holding and locating a wire conductor in alignment over the slot of the terminal prior to connection thereto. Movement of the wire conductor laterally of its longitudinal axis into the slot causes displacement of the insulation so that the terminal electrically contacts the conductor. The holding and locating means comprises an upwardly facing, U-shaped clamp member having a wire receiving area defined between two resilient legs. The clamp member is mounted for movement into the cavity with the wire conductor from an initial position wherein the wire conductor is positioned over the terminal slot downwardly into the cavity to a final position wherein the wire conductor is terminated. The legs position the wire conductor and the wire receiving area in the initial position and exert an inward lateral force against the insulated wire conductor when the clamp member is moved to the final position.
