AMP-Latch 14-Position IDC Receptacle
The TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 1-215882-4 is a 14-position, dual-row IDC receptacle for ribbon cable. It terminates 28 AWG stranded or 26-30 AWG solid wire via insulation displacement — no stripping, no soldering, just a one-step press.
IDC termination is the defining feature here — the contact blades pierce the ribbon cable insulation in one press stroke. The 28 AWG stranded wire is the most common gauge for this connector, though 26-30 AWG solid also works. The feed-through feature lets you daisy-chain multiple receptacles along the same cable run without cutting the ribbon, which is useful for distributing a common signal bus to several boards.
Gold plating at 31.5µin (0.80µm) on the female sockets provides a corrosion-resistant mating surface for repeated connect-disconnect cycles. This thickness is standard for signal-level IDC connectors in controlled environments — it handles field-service reconnects without the contact resistance drift you'd see with tin plating after a few cycles.
Mating and Keying
The polarizing key prevents backward or offset insertion.
