To establish an electrical connection you can count on, pick this ribbon cable from Samtec for the task. It's a 100mm-long, 40-way unit that enables the transfer of power and data from numerous twisted-pair wires neatly arranged in a parallel design. The component is pre-terminated at both ends with Tiger Eye IDC connectors, so you can plug it into your board in a jiffy. Thanks to a low insertion force of 1.39N and withdrawal force of 0.83N, you can rest assured these connectors will last even after several mating cycles.

• Regulation pitch of 1.27mm to fit commonly used small conductors
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C means you can count on it in demanding environments
• Beryllium copper contacts offer high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term, reliable transmission

• Server rooms
• Lighting fixtures
• Audio-visual equipment
• Control panels

It features robust PBT insulation that helps shield it from electrical faults.

You can use the polarising notch when plugging it in to make sure the connector is correctly mated to the socket.
