It accepts 26-28 AWG discrete wire and terminates via insulation displacement, eliminating the need for individual crimp operations. The blue housing carries a detent lock for positive retention in the mating header, and the tin-plated female socket contacts are rated for standard signal-level duty in internal wiring harnesses. This plug terminates 26-28 AWG discrete wire via IDC. The free-hanging, in-line mounting style suits cable-to-board or cable-to-cable harnesses.","metaTitle":"TE 281786-4 HE13/HE14 IDC Plug, 4-Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 281786-4 HE13/HE14 IDC plug, 4 positions, 0.100\" pitch, tin contacts, 26-28 AWG.
