Product details

2.00 mm IDC Receptacle for Discrete Wire Harnesses

Tin-plated female sockets keep per-contact resistance stable for low-cycle, cost-sensitive harness builds. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting lets the connector float in the harness, absorbing cable strain without a board anchor. The natural colour housing is the standard CT series moulding colour, no keying or colour-coding variant.

IDC Termination — No Stripping, No Crimp Tooling

IDC termination pierces the wire insulation as the contact is pressed into the housing slot, making gas-tight connection to the conductor. This eliminates the need for a separate crimp tool and wire stripper — a single hand-press or automated IDC tool seats all contacts simultaneously. The 26-28 AWG range is narrow; verify your wire diameter fits the slot width before committing the BOM.

Frequently asked questions

Is 173977-2 compatible with 2mm CT headers?

Yes. The 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch of the 173977-2 matches the standard CT series header pin spacing. It mates with any 2-position CT header of the same pitch and row configuration.

What is the wire gauge range for 173977-2?

The 173977-2 accepts 26-28 AWG discrete wire. The IDC slot is sized for this range; wire outside this gauge will not terminate reliably.
