Product details

It accepts 26-28 AWG discrete wires and terminates them via insulation displacement, which cuts assembly time compared to a crimp-and-insert process. The right-angle through-hole mounting orients the wires parallel to the board, a common choice for low-profile enclosures or board-edge connections.

Both the cable pitch and board-side pitch are 0.079" (2.00 mm), so the wire spacing matches the PCB footprint row spacing exactly. All 6 positions are loaded, meaning no optional empty slots — the footprint is a straight 1x6 pattern at 2.00 mm pitch.

Color and visual identification

The housing is yellow, a color that can be used for wire-harness identification or to distinguish this connector from other CT Amp-In variants on the same board.

Frequently asked questions

What wire gauge does 2-173983-6 accept?

It accepts 26-28 AWG wire. The IDC termination is designed for that range; using wire outside it risks poor insulation displacement or contact damage.

What is the board pitch and mounting orientation of 2-173983-6?

The board-side pitch is 0.079" (2.00 mm), and the connector mounts through-hole with a right-angle orientation, meaning the wires exit parallel to the PCB.

Is 2-173983-6 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the latest EU restriction on hazardous substances.
