Product details

It terminates individual 26-28 AWG wires directly via insulation displacement — no crimp terminals, no stripping. The housing is blue, the contacts are tin-plated.

This is a board-end connector for discrete-wire harnesses — think control panels, sensor inputs, or any low-current signal interconnect where you want to mass-terminate a ribbon of individual wires without crimping each pin. The tin plating keeps cost down for low-cycle applications where the connector won't be mated and unmated repeatedly. The 6 positions match a 6-circuit BOM line; the single row keeps the connector narrow on the board edge.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 2-173985-6?

What wire gauge works with 2-173985-6?

It accepts 26-28 AWG wire. The IDC slot is sized for that range — use the correct gauge for a reliable insulation-displacement termination.

What is the pitch of the 2-173985-6 connector?

Both the cable pitch and the board-side pitch are 0.079" (2.00 mm). That's the center-to-center spacing of the contacts.

Is 2-173985-6 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 Compliant.
