Use this single-row insulation displacement contact (IDC) connector from 3M to establish secure links between your ribbon cables and printed circuit boards (PCBs). With this compact component, you no longer need to strip wires to expose their conductors, saving you time and effort. This socket is made of a glass-reinforced thermoplastic material that provides reliable insulation, protecting you from electrical hazards. It also has an outer protective covering that shields the wires from impact, increasing the component's lifespan and protecting performance.

• Straight body orientation for quick and easy connection with a PCB• No complex installation tools needed – a simple pair of pliers gets the job done• Copper-alloy contact material for reliable connection• 3A current rating ideal for making ribbon-cable connections• Additional strain relief to protect low flexibility cables from day-to-day damage

• Machine design• Sensor control systems• Computers• Telecommunications gear

Even though IDC sockets aren't designed to be reusable, it's theoretically possible, as long as the wires are carefully removed from the connector.
