What is the 1-2317206-2?
The TE Connectivity 1-2317206-2 is a 12-position, single-row AMPMODU IDC receptacle on a 2.00 mm pitch. It terminates discrete or ribbon cable via the insulation-displacement slot — no crimp tool needed for the wire-to-board connection. The closed-end housing and gold-plated female sockets (30.0 µin gold) target repeated mating cycles in a controlled environment.
Where is it used and what are the key specs?
This is a free-hanging (in-line) receptacle for wire-to-board harnesses inside equipment — think internal power or signal distribution in industrial controls, telecom gear, or test fixtures. The 2.00 mm pitch keeps the board footprint compact while the IDC termination speeds up harness assembly. The 30.0 µin gold on the mating surface supports a higher number of mate/unmate cycles than a tin flash would, which matters if the cable gets disconnected during service. The closed-end feature prevents contact stubbing during insertion.
