78 Series 2.54 x 2.54mm PCB mount two row IDC ribbon cable transition connectors that allow ribbon cable connection to a PCB without the need for two connectors thus reducing costs. These 78 Series PCB IDC transition connectors have a 7.3mm terminated height for low profile off the board applications, solder bumps built into the housings that facilitate board cleaning and fit a standard 2.54 x 2.54mm header layout.

Quickly connect multiple network cables to a PCB (printed circuit board) with this insulation displacement connector (IDC) from 3M. It uses pressure-based cold-weld technology, which means the results are highly durable and make for long-lasting performance. The compact component allows up to 20 ribbon conductors to be connected to a single termination point. It takes up minimal space on a circuit board, making it a versatile choice for your networking and data applications. Thanks to its UL94V-0 rating from Underwriters' Laboratories, you can be sure the connector will self-extinguish in the event of a fire – ideal for ensuring workplace safety.

• Low termination height of 7.3mm for low-profile, off-the-board applications• Built-in solder bumps help to keep your PCB clean when connecting the IDC• Compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards, meaning it contains only negligible amounts of any harmful materials • Glass-filled polyester insulation material for resistance to impact and corrosion in harsh environments

• Data networks• Transportation applications• Telecommunications systems

Cold-welding uses pressure, rather than heat, to join two pieces of metal together. This means there's a low risk of negative chemical or mechanical changes to the base metals being joined together. The process results in a strong, clean join that lasts a long time.
