Mini CT IDC Receptacle — 6 Positions, 1.50 mm Pitch
The TE Connectivity 2-353293-6 is a 6-position receptacle in the Mini CT series, terminated via IDC for 26-28 AWG discrete wire. The 1.50 mm pitch keeps the connector compact — suited for tight harness layouts in consumer appliances, HVAC controls, and automotive interior modules where space is at a premium. The black housing with closed-end construction blocks debris from entering the contact cavity, a detail that matters when the connector sits in a dusty or unsealed enclosure. ROHS3 compliant per.
IDC Termination — No Crimp Tooling Needed
The IDC termination presses the wire into a slot that pierces the insulation, making gas-tight contact with the conductor. For a harness shop running 26-28 AWG discrete wire, this means no crimp applicator, no terminal inventory, and a faster cycle time than a crimp-and-stuff operation. The trade-off: IDC is a one-shot termination — rework means cutting the wire and re-terminating, so wire length and routing need to be right the first time. The closed-end feature also means the contact cavity is sealed on the back side, keeping out solder flux or dust during assembly.
Sourcing — Quoted to Order
The 2-353293-6 is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock-holding claim is made here. For the buyer matching a BOM line, the 6-position count and 1.50 mm pitch are the critical fit parameters; confirm the mating half (a Mini CT header with 1.50 mm pitch) and the wire gauge before committing.
