6-Position IDC Plug for Discrete Wire Harnesses
Gold-plated male pins at 8.00 µinch thickness handle moderate mating cycles without contact corrosion — a practical choice for field-serviceable interconnects inside equipment enclosures.
Termination and Tooling
IDC termination eliminates wire stripping — the contact blades pierce the insulation as the cap is pressed down. A dedicated hand press or pneumatic applicator is required; the RITS series tooling from TE ensures consistent insertion force and gas-tight connections across all six positions. The latch lock holds the plug mated to its receptacle without secondary hardware, which simplifies field replacement in panel wiring.
Mating and Harness Fit
The single-row layout and free-hanging (in-line) mounting suit point-to-point harness runs between PCBs or from a board to a front-panel connector.
