The single IDC contact provides a slim profile and is a lower cost option for connecting small 26-28 AWG wires compared to large 2-piece connectors.
The superior reliability of IDC technology and its solderless wire-to-board connection environment ensure consistency in the cable termination process. IDC technology features a highly reliable phosphor bronze contact system and offers the widest range of connection options available on the market.
Optional IDC ferrules provide simplified assembly and increased flexibility for high-vibration applications. The enhanced reliability and cable characteristics allow IDC to meet design requirements in a broader range of applications, particularly with thinner wire diameters and leaded components such as sensors, batteries, speakers, LEDs, and switches.
AVX insulation displacement connectors can handle up to 6 A and maintain two redundant gas-tight termination contacts, enabling single cable termination. The IDC has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
IDC technology is also well-suited for sensors (industrial, automotive, gas, pressure, thermostats, probes, motion, security, and retail); portable electronic devices (data collection, data loggers, storage terminals, and scanners); smart meters; building electronics (fire/smoke detectors, security cameras, dimming and shadow controls); lighting (cabinets, lanterns, and domes); medical (portable, patient monitoring and analysis); and electronic devices (power converters, switches, filters, flashing lights, and chargers).
