32-Position IDC Receptacle Housing for Ribbon Cable Harnesses
The TE Connectivity 1473799-1 is a 32-position receptacle housing from the.025 series, designed for mass-termination IDC (insulation displacement) connections to 0.025" ribbon cable. The natural PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) insulator carries a -30°C to 80°C operating range, suited for indoor equipment, control cabinets, and peripheral cabling where the temperature stays moderate.
IDC Termination and Contact Note
The IDC termination method punches through the ribbon cable insulation in one press operation, eliminating individual wire stripping and crimping. For harness builders, that means a faster assembly cycle on multi-conductor cables, but the BOM must list the mating IDC terminal separately. The free-hanging (in-line) mount lets the housing float in the cable harness rather than locking to a panel, which simplifies routing in tight enclosures.
The 1473799-1 mates with the corresponding.025 series pin header (typically a 32-position, dual-row, 2.20 mm pitch header). The tab-type contacts in this receptacle pair with the header's square pins.
