Watch pin-one every press: the red housing gives a visual cue, but the keying is in the IDC slot alignment. The press-fit through-hole mounting means no solder wicking up the contacts — the compliant pin cold-forms into the plated through-hole, which makes rework possible if you mis-press a conductor. ## Pitch and Wire Gauge — What Fits The cable-side pitch is 0.050\" (1.27mm) and the board-side pitch is 0.100\" (2.54mm). This is a common split-pitch IDC header: the ribbon conductors land at 1.27mm spacing, then the two rows spread to 2.54mm at the board interface. The 28 AWG wire gauge is the only supported size — the IDC slot geometry is cut for that conductor diameter. Trying 26 AWG or 30 AWG will either miss the slot or damage the insulation. The 4 positions are all loaded, so you get a full 2x2 matrix. ## Press-Fit Termination — No Solder, No Wave The through-hole press-fit termination eliminates the soldering step. The compliant pin design deforms elastically as it enters the plated hole, creating a gas-tight joint. This is standard for backplane and high-reliability assemblies where thermal shock from wave soldering is a concern. The trade-off: the PCB hole diameter and plating thickness must match the press-fit pin geometry — check the application note for the recommended finished hole size before committing the board layout.","metaTitle":"TE 215570-4 Micro-MaTch DIP IDC Header, 4-Pos, 1.27mm Pitch","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 215570-4 Micro-MaTch ribbon cable DIP header, 4 positions, 28 AWG IDC, 1.27mm cable pitch, 2.54mm board pitch, press-fit, tin contacts, RoHS3","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Micro-MaTch","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Direct Wire-to-Board"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Red","Series":"Micro-MaTch","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Feed Through","Wire Gauge":"28 AWG, Stranded or Solid","Cable Pitch":"0.050\\\" (1.27mm)","Row Spacing":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Press-Fit","Connector Type":"Ribbon Cable, DIP Header","Contact Finish":"Tin","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Board-Side Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"215570","Number of Positions":"4","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.53000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.49200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.49040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.47800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.41000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.37088","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.35028","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.30701","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.30289","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.27199","currency":"USD"},{"qty":12500,"price":"$0.25501","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the exact pin pitch of 215570-4?","answer":"The 215570-4 has a 0.050\" (1.27mm) cable-side pitch for the IDC ribbon termination and a 0.100\" (2.54mm) board-side pitch for the through-hole press-fit pins.
