8-Position IDC Socket for Discrete Wire Harnesses
The TE Connectivity 2-1746741-8 is an 8-position female socket from the RITS series, terminated via IDC to discrete 20-26 AWG wire. The 2.00 mm pitch sets the board footprint for the mating RITS header — the same pitch used across the series, so the socket aligns directly with the header's pin field. Gold plating at 8.00 µin on the contact surface gives this socket enough cycle life for field-service reconnects without the fretting corrosion you'd see with tin on a frequently unmated harness.
Wire Gauge and Termination Fit
This socket accepts 20-26 AWG discrete wire via IDC termination.
