Wurth Elektronik Connector Kit Containing Connectors IDC Connectors

<p>IDC is short for Insulation-Displacement Connector. These electrical connectors are designed for ribbon cables and telecommunications applications. They are also referred to as insulation-piercing contacts (IPCs).</p><h2>Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies</h2><p>IDC connectors are most commonly used with Flat Ribbon Cables to create a cable assembly. Ribbon cables consist of multiple wires connected together in a thin, flat ribbon. The IDC connector has sharp contact points which pierce the insulation and make contact with the wire. They are quick and easy as you do not need to strip shrouded wires like conventional crimping methods. IDCs are an ideal ribbon cable termination.</p><p>IDC Connectors use cold welding technology. The IDC connector terminal pushes down and cuts through the insulation of the wire. During this process, there is significant pressure applied which create this cold weld. Some IDC connectors also come with strain relief functionality which helps to protect the ribbon cable connection and improve life span and reliability.</p><h2>Things to consider when purchasing an IDC:</h2><ul><li>Number of Contacts - IDC's are available with different numbers of pins or connections. For example, 4-way and 10-way. Note: the pins may be across multiple rows.</li><li>Gender - IDC's can come in a male version, also known as a plug, or female version, also known as a socket or header.</li><li>Pitch - This refers to the distance between each contact. For example, 1.2 mm. This needs to be compatible with the ribbon connector you wish to connect.</li><li>Mounting Type - IDC plugs and sockets are usually mounted onto a cable or a PCB as a header.</li></ul><h2>Where are they used?</h2><p><ul><li>Low voltage applications</li><li>Computer Drive</li><li>SSDsSmartphones</li><li>Laptops</;i></ul></p><h2><h2>RITS Connectors</h2><p></h2>RITS (remote I/O terminal system) connectors are a type of printed circuit board connector that allows you to easily make connections using a generic tool and connector. The advantage of RITS connectors is that they save you a lot of time and effort, as other connections require greater precision and may need more preparation, such as stripping the wires before they can be connected.</p>

<p>IDC Connectors (Insulation-Displacement Connectors), such as the <a href="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/idc-connectors/1804897?searchId=c0ce3015-006e-458d-aeb1-4856194c3dff&gb=s">Samtec 16-Way IDC Connector Socket for Cable Mount</a> are integral components in telecommunications and ribbon cable applications. These connectors, short for Insulation-Displacement Connectors, feature sharp contact points that puncture the insulation of ribbon cables, forming reliable connections without the need for wire stripping as with traditional crimping methods.</p><h2>What do Samtec IDC Connectors do?</h2><p>Utilising cold welding technology, IDC connectors exert pressure to establish secure contact between the terminal and wire, ensuring a durable connection. Some variants include built-in strain relief mechanisms, enhancing the longevity and reliability of ribbon cable assemblies.</p><h3>What you need to consider:</h3><p>When selecting IDC connectors, several factors should be considered, including the number of contacts, gender (plug or socket), pitch (contact spacing), and mounting type (onto cables or PCBs).</p><p>IDC connectors find applications in various devices such as low-voltage systems, computer drives, SSDs, smartphones, and laptops. Additionally, they are utilised in RITS (Remote I/O Terminal System) connectors, facilitating quick and effortless connections without the need for intricate preparations like wire stripping.</p>
