DuoPlug 8-Position IDC Receptacle — 0.098" Pitch, Tin Contacts
The TE Connectivity DuoPlug 2-284932-8 is an 8-position, single-row IDC receptacle designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire termination. It accepts 22-24 AWG discrete wire and terminates via insulation displacement, eliminating the need for individual crimp contacts. Tin-plated female blade socket contacts suit moderate-cycle signal and low-current power applications where cost per position is a priority.
IDC Termination — Wire Gauge and Assembly
The IDC termination accepts 22-24 AWG solid or stranded wire. This makes the 2-284932-8 a fast option for harness builds where the wire count matches the 8-position layout and the termination volume justifies a simple IDC press. The free-hanging housing lets the connector sit inline on the cable, not panel-mounted.
The 8-position count matches an 8-circuit BOM line; the single row keeps the connector narrow for routing along a board edge or inside a tight enclosure. Confirm the header's pin length and locking feature (if any) match the receptacle's retention needs for your application.
