Need a clean-cut way to attach your flat cables to a board? Reach for this IDC connector from 3M. Rather than slicing your wires to ribbons, it sharply and neatly pierces the outer jacket to reach the contacts, creating a secure connection. The unit handles wire sizes from 28 to 26AWG, so it's widely compatible with commonly used conductors. Without cutting corners, it fits neatly into awkward spaces thanks to its right-angle design.
