Single-Point IDC Termination for 18 AWG Discrete Wire
It is not a multi-conductor ribbon-cable header — each unit handles one point-to-point connection, making it a building block for distributed wiring where you need individual wire routing per circuit. Tin contact finish keeps the per-unit cost low for applications that do not require frequent mating cycles.
What the 18 AWG IDC Termination Means for Your Harness
The IDC termination is sized for 18 AWG wire — a common gauge for power distribution in industrial control cabinets and panel wiring. The insulation displacement slot cuts through the insulation and grips the conductor without stripping or crimping a separate terminal. Because this is a single-position part, you use one 2106751-1 per wire; there is no daisy-chaining through a multi-position header. The feed-through feature allows the wire to pass straight through the connector body rather than terminating at a dead end, which simplifies daisy-chain wiring in a panel.
Mounting and Board Layout
The right-angle through-hole mounting places the IDC slot and wire entry parallel to the PCB. On the board, the footprint takes up a single row of plated through-holes — one per position. Tape and reel packaging suits automated pick-and-place for high-volume board assembly, while cut tape is available for prototype or low-volume builds.
