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.

Get your plug-in components on board with this right-angle PCB socket from 3M. It comes preassembled so you can put your board together in a jiffy. When it's time to unplug, use optional pull-tab adhesives (827-3622) for quick and simple disconnection. This unit also comes with centre bump polarisation, making it just the thing for correctly mating your components.
