The 69830-014LF: The cable-side pitch is 0.050" (1.27mm), so the ribbon cable conductors are half the spacing of the board pads — the IDC transition fans out the conductors internally. This header accepts 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire, covering the common ribbon cable gauges for signal-level interconnects.
Wiring and Termination — IDC Installation
The header accepts 26-28 AWG stranded or solid conductors — 28 AWG stranded is within the stated range and works with the standard IDC tooling. A feed-through feature is listed, which typically means the cable passes through the header body and exits the opposite side, allowing daisy-chaining to another connector. There is no separate strain relief included with this part; the IDC connection itself provides the primary retention, and the through-hole solder tails on the board side anchor the assembly against cable pull.
