The Molex 903270371 is a 14-position IDC receptacle in the Picoflex PF-50 90327 series, designed for mass-termination to 0.100-inch pitch ribbon cable. It accepts 26-28 AWG ribbon cable and terminates via insulation displacement, eliminating individual wire stripping and crimping.
Pitch and Position Count — BOM Fit Check
At 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 14 positions across 2 rows, this receptacle matches the footprint of standard 14-pin IDC headers and DIP-style ribbon cable connectors. The 14-circuit count is the key BOM match criterion — if your assembly calls for a 14-conductor ribbon cable terminated to a free-hanging receptacle, this is the part. The 2-row arrangement keeps the connector width manageable for tight panel openings.
IDC termination means the connector is pressed onto the ribbon cable using a hand or pneumatic press — no solder, no crimp. The 26-28 AWG range covers the most common ribbon cable gauges for signal-level interconnects. The feed-through feature allows the ribbon cable to pass through the connector body, enabling daisy-chain wiring where multiple receptacles share the same cable run without cutting the ribbon.
Contact Finish and Duty Cycle
Tin contacts are cost-effective for internal, low-vibration environments where the connector mates and stays mated.
