The HARTING 0918516781358U is a 16-position receptacle from the SEK series, designed for mass-termination of 26-28 AWG ribbon cable via IDC contacts.
Termination is IDC — the ribbon cable is pressed onto the insulation-displacement forks in one operation. The 26-28 AWG range covers common flat-ribbon gauges; the connector body itself provides the strain relief via the integrated Feed Through and Strain Relief features listed, so no separate clamp part is needed for the cable exit. The polarizing key prevents reverse insertion into the mating header.
Position-Count Alternatives in the SEK Series
The closest functional sibling is the 14-position 0918514781358U, which shares the same 0.100" pitch, dual-row layout, gold contacts, and IDC termination for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable. The difference is two circuits — the 16-position fills a 16-conductor cable; the 14-position matches a 14-conductor ribbon. Both carry the same integrated strain relief and polarizing key. For lower circuit counts, the 10-position 0918510781358U and 6-position 09185067803 are available with the same feature set.
