8-Position IDC Receptacle for 2.00mm Ribbon or Discrete Wire
The TE Connectivity AMPMODU 2317222-8 is an 8-position single-row IDC receptacle built for 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch ribbon cable or discrete wire in the 26-30 AWG range. It terminates via insulation displacement — no wire stripping, just a one-shot press with the correct IDC tool — and the free-hanging (in-line) body mates with a matching 2.00mm pitch header. The closed-end design keeps debris out of the last cavity, and the black housing is a visual cue for polarity in a multi-connector harness.
Tin Contacts at 50.0µin — Signal-Duty, Fixed Harness
Tin is the workhorse for IDC terminations in signal-level interconnects — it oxides but the IDC gas-tight joint breaks through that oxide at termination. What it does not do well is survive repeated mate/unmate cycles: tin frets under vibration and the oxide layer builds with each disconnect. This receptacle is best suited for a harness that mates once and stays put — think internal ribbon cable between a control board and a display, not a field-service disconnect point. If you need a connector that gets re-pinned on site, this IDC body is a factory termination; rework means a new housing and a fresh IDC press.
Selection Check: Pitch and Position Count
The 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch is the first dimension to verify against the mating header footprint — it is narrower than the 0.100" (2.54mm) AMPMODU standard, so it does not cross to the wider pitch headers. The 8-position single-row count matches an 8-circuit ribbon cable or discrete wire bundle exactly; there are no spare cavities to leave empty. The 26-30 AWG wire range covers common signal-gauge ribbon (28 AWG is typical) and 26 AWG for slightly heavier signal loads. If your harness uses 24 AWG or larger, the IDC slot will not grip the insulation properly — step up to a crimp-style receptacle instead.
Does It Cross to a 1-1703095-1 Panel?
No — the 1-1703095-1 is a 4-position, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch IDC receptacle with a latch lock, in a natural colour. The 2317222-8 is 8 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with a closed end and no latch. The pitch difference alone (2.00mm vs 5.00mm) means the board footprint and the header spacing are incompatible. They share the IDC termination method and free-hanging mount, but the cavity count and pitch prevent a direct drop-in swap. Stick with the 2.00mm AMPMODU series for this receptacle.
