2.54mm Pitch IDC

2.54mm Pitch IDC

The 2.54mm Pitch IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) is an industry-standard interconnection solution designed for mass termination of flat ribbon cables without wire stripping or soldering. Featuring a 0.1-inch pitch that aligns with traditional breadboard and PCB layouts, these connectors provide reliable electrical connections for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications in a wide range of electronic systems. The IDC termination technology displaces insulation to make contact with conductors in a single operation, ensuring consistent performance and significantly reduced assembly time. Available in socket, header, and transition configurations, these connectors offer robust construction, excellent current capacity, and broad compatibility with standard ribbon cable assemblies.

Product Selling Points

 

1. Standard 2.54mm Pitch for Universal Compatibility
Featuring the industry-standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch, this connector supports 4 to 64 contact positions (even numbers). It directly replaces legacy designs and works seamlessly with most PCB layouts, saving you redesign time and reducing inventory complexity.

2. High Current Capacity in a Compact Package
Each contact delivers a reliable 3A current rating with a low contact resistance of ≤15 mΩ - better than industry typical. Combined with 250V AC/DC withstand voltage and ≥1000MΩ insulation resistance, it ensures stable power and signal transmission for industrial control, consumer electronics, and more.

3. Ready for Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies
Specifically designed for 2.54mm pitch flat ribbon cable (28-26 AWG), this connector simplifies wire-to-board connections. No custom cable tooling required - use standard off-the-shelf ribbon cable to accelerate prototyping and production.

4. Durable Materials with Safety Certification
Contacts feature gold or tin plating over nickel for corrosion resistance and ≥200 mating cycles. The housing is molded from PBT or PA66 with UL94V-0 flame rating, meeting strict safety standards while providing long-term mechanical reliability.
