20-Position IDC Receptacle for 2.00mm Ribbon Cable
The Samtec TCSD-10-01-N is a 20-position IDC receptacle from the Tiger Eye TCSD series, designed for mass-termination to 28 AWG ribbon cable. The push-pull fastening and polarizing key prevent mis-mating in multi-connector harnesses, and the free-hanging (in-line) mounting suits cable-to-board or cable-to-cable applications where a low-profile, reliable interconnect is needed.
In a field-service or test-fixture role, this connector holds up where a flash-plated part would fret.
Comparison: TCSD-10-01-N vs. TCSD-10-01-F-N vs. TCSD-12-01-N
The TCSD-10-01-N carries 30.0µin gold contacts and a polarizing key, while the TCSD-10-01-F-N uses flash gold (no thickness spec) but shares the same keying and position count — choose the -N for higher mating-cycle duty. The TCSD-12-01-N is the 24-position sibling at the same 0.079" pitch and 30.0µin plating, for a 24-circuit BOM line. Both -N variants are active and ROHS3 compliant.
