Product details

The TE Connectivity 281709-4 is a 4-position IDC plug from the HE13/HE14 series, terminated to 24 AWG discrete wire. Gold plating at 16.0 µ" on the female socket contacts gives this plug the corrosion margin for signal-level circuits that may see a few dozen mate cycles over the life of the equipment.

Termination and Harness Build — IDC on 24 AWG

This plug uses insulation-displacement contacts sized for 24 AWG discrete wire. The IDC slot pierces the insulation and grips the conductor in one press operation — no stripping, no crimping, no solder pot. For a 4-position connector on a harness board, that means a consistent termination every time, as long as the wire gauge stays within the 24 AWG spec. The right-angle cable exit puts the wire bundle parallel to the mounting surface, which is the natural routing for a cable that runs along a chassis wall or inside a control cabinet.

That means it is still in current manufacture — no last-time-buy clock ticking, no need to stockpile for a legacy BOM.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 281709-4 connector?

The 281709-4 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your BOM quantity.

What is the pitch of the 281709-4?

The 281709-4 uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing for DIP ICs and legacy IDC ribbon-cable headers. The board-side receptacle footprint follows the same grid.

Is the 281709-4 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the 281709-4 is RoHS Compliant per the manufacturer's listing.
