Three-Position IDC Header for 18 AWG Discrete Wiring
The cable-side and board-side pitch are both 0.157" (4.00 mm), which means the footprint on the PCB matches the wire spacing, keeping the routing straightforward for a low-density interconnect. The Feed Through feature indicates the IDC slot passes the wire through the connector body, allowing the insulation to be pierced and the conductor to seat in the contact slot without a pre-strip step. The natural-colored housing is a visual identifier on the line, though color alone does not affect electrical performance.
The 4.00 mm pitch is wide enough to route 18 AWG wire comfortably between adjacent contacts, and the through-hole solder tails provide a mechanically robust joint for the wire strain that comes from cable movement. The right-angle orientation means the connector overhangs the board edge or sits in a cutout — plan for the body to extend beyond the PCB footprint by roughly the housing depth. For corrosive or high-vibration conditions, a gold-plated variant would be preferred, but the tin finish keeps per-unit cost down for fixed harness assemblies.
