20-Position IDC Receptacle for 28 AWG Ribbon Cable
The Molex 0875682093 is a 20-position IDC receptacle from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for mass-termination to 28 AWG ribbon cable. It uses a 2-row layout on a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with matching 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing, which defines the cable conductor pitch and the mating header footprint.
IDC Termination and Wire Gauge Match
The IDC termination is purpose-built for 28 AWG ribbon cable. The 28 AWG wire gauge is not negotiable for this part — the IDC slot geometry is sized for that conductor diameter, and using a different gauge risks poor contact or insulation damage. The feed-through feature allows the cable to pass through the connector body, which is typical for daisy-chain or pass-through wiring topologies.
This receptacle mates with the matching Milli-Grid 87568 series pin header (male pins, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row, 20 positions). The polarizing key in the housing prevents mis-mating with headers of different position counts or keying configurations. For field service, the locking ramp is released by pressing down on the latch tab on the header side, allowing the pair to separate without tools.
