2.00 mm Pitch, 3-Position IDC Receptacle for Discrete or Ribbon Cable
It terminates discrete or ribbon cable with 26-30 AWG wire, using the insulation displacement method — no stripping or crimping required. The 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch matches the standard AMPMODU 2mm header footprint, and the black housing carries a closed-end feature that blocks the last cavity, preventing a misplaced pin from shorting against the receptacle wall.
IDC termination is a one-step mass-termination process: the cable is laid across the contacts and the cover is pressed down, forcing each conductor into a bifurcated beam that pierces the insulation. No wire prep beyond cutting to length. The trade-off is that the connection is permanent — there is no secondary retention or rework path if a wire is mis-routed. The 26-30 AWG range is narrow; the wire's insulation OD must be within the slot geometry for the IDC beams to cut cleanly without damaging the conductor. For ribbon cable, the 2.00 mm pitch aligns with standard rainbow ribbon, making this a drop-in choice for jumpered signal runs between boards.
Mating Half — What Plugs Into This Receptacle
This receptacle mates with the AMPMODU 2mm header series — a 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch, single-row, through-hole or SMT pin header. The 3-position header (TE base number 2317206, with a suffix indicating the header variant) completes the wire-to-board interconnect. The closed-end feature on the receptacle means the header must have a corresponding polarization feature or the mating face must be fully populated; a 4-position header would not seat fully.
It is still in the current TE Connectivity portfolio — no last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is on record for this base product number.
