It uses forked contacts that pierce the insulation in one press operation — no stripping, no individual wire handling. The black housing includes a feed-through feature that lets ribbon cable pass straight through for daisy-chaining multiple connectors on the same cable, plus a polarizing key that prevents the receptacle from being mated upside-down. It mounts free-hanging (in-line) — no panel cutout or board footprint needed, just the cable and the mating header. ## Where This Fits in the AMP-Latch Family The closest functional sibling in the evidence is the 1-226733-4, a 17-position receptacle in the same series. The decision between them is purely position count — 44 circuits versus 17 — for the same cable type, termination method, and housing style. No other spec difference in pitch, plating, or wire range separates them. ## Termination and Wiring Notes Termination is IDC — the ribbon cable is laid across the fork contacts and pressed down with a hand or pneumatic press tool. The wire gauge range is 26-28 AWG, which covers standard 0.050\" center ribbon cable. The feed-through feature means the cable can continue past this receptacle to a second connector, useful for multi-drop bus architectures.","metaTitle":"TE AMP-Latch 1-1658622-3, 44 Pos IDC Receptacle","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 1-1658622-3 receptacle, 44 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, IDC termination for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable.
