Single-Position IDC Termination for 18 AWG Wire
The TE Connectivity 2106003-1 is a single-position IDC wire connector designed to terminate a discrete 18 AWG wire directly to a PCB without a separate crimp housing. The closed-end IDC slot accepts the wire and pierces the insulation on insertion — no stripping or crimping needed. Tin contacts are standard for moderate-cycle, cost-sensitive applications. The natural colour housing is the standard offering.
Board Layout Fit: Right-Angle SMD Footprint
The single position keeps the footprint minimal — a pair of SMD pads for the contacts plus the closed-end IDC slot over the board. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place for volume assembly. The 18 AWG wire gauge is the only size the IDC slot accepts — confirm your wire diameter.
