The natural color housing is free-hanging, so no board mount is needed; the IDC termination punches through the wire insulation in one press operation, making it a production-friendly choice for high-volume harness builds.
Tin contacts are rated for the signal-level current typical of CT-series applications; the IDC termination eliminates crimping per wire, saving assembly time. The 26-28 AWG range covers common signal wire gauges used in ribbon-cable replacements and discrete harnesses. Mates with the matching CT series header (sold separately) — build-to-print needs both halves.
