26-Position IDC Receptacle for 2.00mm Ribbon Cable
The Molex 0875682663 is a 26-position receptacle from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for mass-termination of 28 AWG ribbon cable via IDC contacts. The 2.00 mm pitch and 2-row layout match standard 0.079" ribbon cable, making this a direct-fit connector for internal board-to-cable harnesses where the cable runs parallel to the board edge. Gold plating at 15.0 µ" (0.38 µm) on the female socket contacts gives this connector a solid mating-cycle budget for repeated disconnect in service — suitable for test points, programming headers, or modular subassemblies where the cable is unplugged more than once. The free-hanging (in-line) mount and feed-through feature let the ribbon cable pass straight through the housing, simplifying routing in tight enclosures where a right-angle exit would interfere with the cover or adjacent components.
Termination and Wire Match
IDC termination is a one-step press operation — the 28 AWG ribbon cable is laid into the housing slots and the cover is pressed down, displacing insulation to make contact with each of the 26 positions simultaneously. No stripping, no crimping, no individual wire handling.
This receptacle mates with the Milli-Grid 87568 series pin header of the same pitch and position count — a 26-position, 2-row, 2.00 mm pitch header. Confirm the header's mounting style (through-hole or SMT) and stack height to match your board-to-cable interface.
