Samtec discrete wire IDC components

Samtec has released a 2 mm pitch discrete wire IDC system designed for a good connection and ease of discrete wire termination in field applications. Available as an IDC connector only, the system eliminates the need for special tooling, as well as any additional cost to purchase and inventory separate parts including bodies, contacts, etc.

The IDC system includes a cable socket connector (I2SS Series) and a mating board level header (T2I Series). The cable socket connector is available in two, three, four or five positions and accepts 24 AWG discrete wires, which are held in place by the connector and then terminated with standard flat jaw pliers. The board level header is a single-row configuration with through-hole termination for increased stability on the board. A single end latching system ensures secure locking.

The system is suitable for industrial applications including installation, testing and maintenance in the field. Additional applications include I/O, controls, factory automation, instrumentation and measurement equipment.
