15-Position IDC Socket for 26 AWG Ribbon Cable
The JST 15KR-D6S-P is a 15-position female socket from the KRD series, designed for mass-termination IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) to 26 AWG discrete wire. Tin-plated contacts provide a cost-effective termination for applications where moderate mating cycles are expected. The free-hanging, right-angle mounting orientation means the cable exits at 90 degrees to the connector body, which suits low-profile routing inside enclosures or along board edges where straight cable exit would interfere with adjacent components.
Wiring and Termination — IDC for 26 AWG
This socket uses IDC termination, which pierces the insulation of 26 AWG discrete wire when the cable is pressed into the slot. No wire stripping or crimping is needed — the contact's bifurcated beam cuts through the jacket and makes contact with the conductor in one operation.
