Product details

4-Position IDC Plug for 0.100" Ribbon Cable

The TE Connectivity 281786-4 is a 4-position IDC plug from the HE13/HE14 series, designed for mass-termination to 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch ribbon cable. It accepts 26-28 AWG discrete wire and terminates via insulation displacement, eliminating the need for individual crimp operations. The blue housing carries a detent lock for positive retention in the mating header, and the tin-plated female socket contacts are rated for standard signal-level duty in internal wiring harnesses.

This plug terminates 26-28 AWG discrete wire via IDC. The free-hanging, in-line mounting style suits cable-to-board or cable-to-cable harnesses.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HE13 and HE14 connectors?

HE13 is the header (male pins, board-mount), while HE14 is the plug (female sockets, cable-mount IDC). The 281786-4 is an HE14 plug that mates with any HE13 header of the same 4-position count and 0.100" pitch.

What wire range is compatible with 281786-4?

The 281786-4 accepts 26-28 AWG discrete wire for IDC termination. The wire insulation must be suitable for displacement termination — standard PVC ribbon cable in this gauge range works reliably.
