Why the 0.050" Pitch Matters for Your Ribbon Cable Harness
The TE 2-111196-6 is a 14-position, dual-row receptacle from the AMPMODU System 50 series, terminated via IDC to 30-32 AWG ribbon cable. The 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch is the defining constraint here — it matches the standard 0.050" centerline ribbon cable spacing, so the cable conductors align directly with the IDC slots. No wire stripping, no crimping: the cable is pressed onto the insulation-piercing contacts in a single operation, which is the whole point of this connector for high-density harness builds. The latch lock fastening type holds the mated pair together against vibration without needing a secondary locking clip, which saves assembly time on the line.
Wiring It: IDC Termination and Wire Gauge
This receptacle accepts 30-32 AWG ribbon cable. The feed-through feature allows the cable to pass through the housing. The black housing is the standard color for this series; no color-coding for keying, so verify orientation before pressing the cable into the IDC tool.
