40-Position IDC Receptacle for 2.00 mm Ribbon Cable
The Molex 0875684063 is a 40-position receptacle in the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for mass-termination to 28 AWG ribbon cable via an IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) interface. The 2.00 mm pitch on both rows and the 2.00 mm row spacing match standard 0.079-inch ribbon cable layouts, so the cable simply presses into the connector body — no stripping, no crimping.
The IDC termination is sized for 28 AWG ribbon cable — the connector body has a feed-through slot so the cable can pass straight through the back, which is common in daisy-chain or pass-through harnesses where one cable serves multiple connectors. For a harness build, the tooling requirement is a simple IDC press — no solder, no crimp dies.
The black housing is keyed by the polarization ribs in the header shroud, so a reversed mate is physically blocked.
