If you need to connect to a conductor for computing applications, opt for this 20-way, straight IDC connector suitable for through-hole mounting. Don't worry about stripping wires, as it has sharp points that penetrate cables to make contact with the conductor. Use it with standard 1.6 mm thick printed circuit boards (PCBs) as the solder spill connections are on a 0.1 inch grid.

The product housing is a sturdy and insulating 30% glass-filled PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) with a resistance of 5,000 mΩ a minute at dc 500V. The PCB header is safe to operate from -45˚C to +105˚C. In addition, its gold-plated contacts keep resistance down to just 20 mΩ at dc 100 mA.

Part of the RS PRO range, this item has been tested by leading engineers. It's certified to electrostatic discharge standards ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007. It also contains minimal levels of hazardous substances (RoHS).
