What this SL 70400 IDC receptacle is
The Molex 0014600052 is a 5-position IDC receptacle from the SL 70400 series, terminated to discrete or ribbon cable by insulation displacement — no stripping, no crimp, just a straight push onto the wire bundle. The latch lock on the top engages the mating header ramp and holds the pair under vibration — a friction-only mate would walk apart over time on a moving assembly.
IDC termination — wire gauge and assembly
IDC termination is spec'd for 24 AWG wire, either discrete strands or ribbon cable. The insulation is displaced by the slot in the contact tines as the cover is pressed down — no wire prep beyond cutting to length.
The latch lock snaps over the header ramp and holds the pair engaged; the lock is the primary retention, not the contact friction. The free-hanging (in-line) mount allows the receptacle to sit in a harness without a panel cutout, secured only by the latch to the header.
