The 0.050\" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing match the standard 0.050\" ribbon cable grid, so this connector lands on a 5x2 contact pattern — the typical layout for a 10-conductor ribbon. It is a free-hanging (in-line) socket that mates with a matching Tiger Eye™ header (same pitch, same row count) to form a board-to-wire interconnect. The black housing carries a feed-through feature, allowing multiple receptacles on the same cable run, and a polarizing key that prevents reversed mating during harness assembly. The 0.050\" (1.27mm) pitch is the tightest common IDC pitch — it sets the board footprint for the mating header and limits the ribbon cable to 30 AWG. The IDC termination to 30 AWG ribbon cable requires no wire stripping, but the cable thickness must be within the IDC slot tolerance, and a mass-termination tool is needed for consistent gas-tight joints. The feed-through feature lets you daisy-chain multiple receptacles on the same cable without a separate jumper — useful for distributing a signal bus across several board locations. ## How the 10-Position FFSD-05-01-N Compares to Its Siblings The FFSD-05-01-N sits at 10 positions in the Tiger Eye™ FFSD family. The 8-position FFSD-04-01 shares the same pitch and termination but lacks the polarizing key feature.","metaTitle":"Samtec FFSD-05-01-N Tiger Eye™ Receptacle, 10 Pos IDC","metaDescription":"Samtec FFSD-05-01-N Tiger Eye™ FFSD receptacle, 10 positions, 0.050\" pitch, IDC termination for 30 AWG ribbon cable, gold contacts.
