SDL Plug for Ribbon Cable, 4 Positions
The 1-1761184-1: It uses crimp termination and carries gold-plated contacts with a 50.0 µin (1.27 µm) finish, rated at 1.5 A per contact and 30 V. The housing is polycarbonate (PC) in clear/gray, and the plug is shielded with a brass shell, keyed to prevent mis-mating. This connector is typically used in internal data or signal harnesses where a compact, shielded ribbon-cable interconnect is needed — common in telecom, networking, and industrial control equipment.
The 24 AWG wire gauge is specific: the crimp terminals are sized for that ribbon cable gauge, so don't substitute a different wire size without checking terminal compatibility.
Shielding and Keying
The brass shield provides EMI protection for the signal pair, which matters in electrically noisy environments inside an enclosure. The keying feature prevents inserting the plug into the wrong receptacle — a practical safeguard when multiple similar connectors are on the same cable bundle.
