It mates directly to a PCB via the 'Mates to PCB' feature — essentially a wire-to-board interconnect where the receptacle presses onto a board-mounted header or a set of pins, no separate housing required. The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch keeps the footprint compact while leaving enough room for routing 22-24 AWG discrete wires. Tin-plated female blade socket contacts are standard here, which suits applications where the connector mates once or infrequently — think appliance internal wiring, control panel harnesses, or LED lighting strings where the connection is made at final assembly and stays put.
IDC Termination — No Crimp, But Fixed Wire Range
The trade-off is that the wire gauge is locked to 22-24 AWG. Stray outside that range and the IDC slot either won't cut the insulation cleanly (too thin) or won't close properly (too thick).
Free-Hanging Right-Angle — Routing the Cable Exit
This receptacle mounts free-hanging (in-line) with a right-angle cable exit. The body sits flat against the PCB or header, and the wires exit perpendicular to the board edge.
