The IDC connector’s mass termination capability allows the termination of 30 lines in a single cycle, reducing the need for expensive automated termination equipment and allowing manual cable assembly operations.
Available friction-latch configurations and an optional strain-relief accessory can further increase connection reliability. An optional, unique header ejector latch mechanism provides positive latch and ejection capability with minimal size addition.
The shrouded boardmount header, .050in x .050in, 452 series is available in a variety of configurations in order to maximise design flexibility while minimizing PCB footprint. Tape-and-reel packaging for the SMT version of the header is available for automated placement applications, and PCB standoffs help enable pin-in-paste processing capability.
Both series can help design engineers of high-performance electronic systems meet the ever-increasing demand for high-density equipment in applications such as communications, military/aerospace, industrial production, data centre and high-performance computing.
The socket and header mate together connecting .025in pitch ribbon cables to printed circuit boards (PCBs). A variety of .025in pitch ribbon cables are also available, forming a complete, end-to-end system of header, socket and cable.
