The TE 2-111196-1 is a 50-position receptacle in the AMPMODU System 50 series, designed for mass-termination of 30-32 AWG ribbon cable via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact). The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch on a dual-row layout with 0.100" (2.54 mm) row spacing gives a dense signal interconnect — the board footprint stays compact, but the routing channel between rows is tight.
The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch between contacts in each row, combined with the 0.100" (2.54 mm) row spacing, sets the footprint for the mating header. For a 50-position dual-row layout, the overall width across the rows is roughly 0.100" plus the header body width; the length along the row is 49 × 0.050" = 2.450" plus the end clearances.
IDC termination — no crimp tooling needed
The IDC termination accepts 30-32 AWG ribbon cable. The feed-through feature means the cable can pass through the connector body, which is useful for daisy-chain or pass-through wiring in a harness. The black housing is the standard colour for this variant; the tray packaging is typical for manual assembly lines.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, no obsolescence watch
It is still in the TE catalog and can be sourced through independent distribution.
Comparison with the 17-position sibling (1-226733-4)
The closest functional sibling in the same AMPMODU System 50 family is the 1-226733-4, a 17-position receptacle with the same 0.050" pitch, dual-row IDC termination, and free-hanging mounting. The difference is the position count — 50 vs 17 — which changes the board footprint length and the cable width. The 1-226733-4 uses a detent lock instead of the latch lock on the 2-111196-1. For a BOM that needs 17 circuits, the 1-226733-4 is the direct position match; the 50-position part is for higher-density signal bundles. Neither is a drop-in replacement for the other — the position count mismatch prevents it.
