IDC Socket Connector

An IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) socket connector is a compact, reliable component used to terminate flat ribbon cables for wire-to-board connections. It features sharp contacts that pierce the wire insulation, creating a secure, solderless connection that mates with a board-mounted header, such as a pin or box header. Ideal for electronics, automotive, and industrial applications, IDC socket connectors ensure quick assembly and consistent performance.

IDC Socket Connector Types

There are three pitch sizes of IDC socket connectors, each engineered for secure and efficient termination of flat ribbon cables in wire-to-board applications. Higher pitch sizes support greater current capacities, ensuring optimal performance for high-power and demanding projects.

1.27mm IDC Socket Connector

Perfect for high-density applications, this compact connector pairs with 0.635mm pitch flat ribbon cables, ideal for space-constrained designs.

2.0mm IDC Socket Connector

Suited for medium-density setups, it connects with 1.0mm pitch flat ribbon cables, offering reliable performance for moderate current needs.

2.54mm IDC Socket Connector

With the largest pitch, this connector supports higher current capacities and mates with 1.27mm pitch flat ribbon cables, ideal for power-intensive applications.

The SR (strain relief) is optional, you can order with or without it.
