3M 50-Way IDC Connector Socket for Cable Mount, 2-Row

From 3M, the 891 Series ribbon cable connectors feature military polarization and centre bumps. They terminate faster than two-piece sockets and their sword packaging makes easy loading of manual and semi-automatic assembly equipment.

These 891 series IDC ribbon cable socket connectors have a double-recessed cover which allows cable to be terminated from either side and are supplied preassembled.
Strain reliefs (192-7530 typically) are available separately

• Preassembled, terminates faster than two-piece sockets
• Sword packaging makes easy loading of manual and semi-automatic assembly equipment
• Bumps prevent premature latch locking during shipment
• Optional double-sided adhesive pull tab for easy unplugging
• Double-recessed cover for cable terminating from either side eliminates need for single-recessed cover connectors

Ribbon cables are known for their space saving and high data transfer capabilities. They are often used to connect internal computer peripherals, and less frequently for external connections. They are known for being well suited to mass termination with IDC (insulation displacement connectors.) This quick and practical termination solution means that ribbon cabling is a common standard in electronics and computing.

3M are a reliable name in computing and electronic connection. Combined with RS Components excellent customer service, 3M provides a range of specialist connectivity solutions for a variety of industries and applications.

Thanks to this IDC connector from 3M, you can cut out the hassle of stripping wires when setting up your PCB connection. It has 50 contacts, so it's a handy option for multi-cable setups. As they're made of phosphor bronze, these contacts are highly conductive to keep your circuits reliably powered up. A wide operating temperature range between -55°C and +105°C means this unit can handle the extremes of demanding environments.
