The TE Connectivity AMPMODU 2317206-8 is an 8-position, single-row IDC receptacle built on a 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch. It terminates discrete or ribbon cable directly — no crimp tool, no individual wire stripping — the insulation displacement contacts pierce the wire jacket in one press operation. The closed-end housing gives the cable a positive stop during assembly, so the conductors seat fully against the back wall every time.
Wire Gauge and Termination
The IDC slot is rated for 26 to 30 AWG wire. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting means the receptacle sits in the cable harness. Because it's IDC, the termination quality depends on the cable jacket thickness matching the slot width. Ribbon cable with the standard 0.050" conductor spacing works directly; for discrete wires, the insulation OD needs to be within the 26-30 AWG range for the IDC slot to cut through cleanly.
