The Molex 0875683463 is a 34-position IDC receptacle from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for mass-termination to 28 AWG ribbon cable. It uses a 2-row, 2.00 mm pitch layout with gold-plated female sockets (15.0 µin gold over nickel), and the housing is black. This connector is a free-hanging (in-line) receptacle — no PCB footprint needed — and is typically mated with a Milli-Grid header to form a board-to-wire interconnect in compact electronic assemblies.
Termination and Wire Compatibility
This is a mass-termination process: all 34 conductors are terminated in one press stroke, no individual wire stripping or crimping. The connector is designed for 28 AWG ribbon cable only; using a different gauge will not achieve reliable insulation displacement or contact retention. The feed-through feature means the ribbon cable passes through the connector body, allowing daisy-chaining to another IDC connector further down the cable. This is useful for distributing a parallel bus to multiple board locations without a separate breakout.
Mating and System Fit
This receptacle mates with a Milli-Grid 87568 series header — typically a 34-position, 2-row, 2.00 mm pitch pin header. Confirm the header's orientation (vertical or right-angle) and mounting type (through-hole or SMT) for your board layout.
