The 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch and dual-row 0.100\" row spacing align directly with standard 34-conductor ribbon cable, so the cable lays in without staggering. The IDC termination pierces all 34 conductors simultaneously in one press operation — no wire stripping or individual crimping, which keeps harness assembly time low on a medium-density parallel bus. The blue housing carries a polarizing key that prevents the receptacle from being mated upside-down to the matching header — a practical safeguard on a production line or in field service where the cable orientation might not be obvious. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means the receptacle floats on the cable; the board-side header provides the mechanical anchor. The 34-position count maps one-to-one to a 34-conductor ribbon cable, so there is no unused conductor or skipped pin — it fills the full width of the cable. The IDC termination is the defining feature here: the receptacle accepts 28-30 AWG ribbon cable, and the insulation-displacement slots are sized for that wire range. A standard IDC hand press or pneumatic tool seats the cable in one stroke. The gold-plated female socket contacts wipe the header pins on insertion, and the 30.0µin gold thickness supports a high number of mating cycles without degradation — useful for test fixtures or modular I/O that gets swapped regularly. The blue housing colour is a visual identifier on the harness — if your build uses multiple AMP-Latch receptacles at different positions, the colour helps the assembler pick the right one without reading the part number on every connector. The 1-1658526-8 is active and ROHS3 compliant. No official cross-reference or direct equivalent is on record, but the base product number 1658526 covers the AMP-Latch series — the -8 suffix is the 34-position variant.","metaTitle":"TE AMP-Latch 1-1658526-8, 34-Position IDC Receptacle","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 1-1658526-8, 34-position IDC receptacle, 0.100\" pitch, gold 30.0µin contacts, 28-30 AWG ribbon cable, polarizing key, active","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"AMP-Latch","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Panel-Mount & In-Line Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Blue","Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Series":"AMP-Latch","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Polarizing Key","Wire Type":"Ribbon Cable","Wire Gauge":"28-30 AWG","Row Spacing":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Contact Type":"Female Socket","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Receptacle","Contact Finish":"Gold","Fastening Type":"-","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"1658526","Number of Positions":"34","Contact Finish Thickness":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$13.4600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$13.46000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$12.17000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$11.84760","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$11.39680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$10.55980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$10.49544","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$10.10910","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$9.01449","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 1-1658526-8 and get a price?","answer":"The 1-1658526-8 is sourced to order through independent distribution.
