11-Position IDC Receptacle for 1.50 mm Pitch Discrete Wire Harnesses
The TE 3-353293-1 is an 11-circuit receptacle in the Mini CT series, terminated via IDC for 26-28 AWG discrete wire. The closed-end housing blocks the wire from pushing through the back during termination, which is the failure mode on open-end IDC connectors when the wire isn't fully seated. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting, single row, black housing, bulk packaged.
IDC on discrete wire means each conductor is terminated individually into its own slot, not gang-terminated from a ribbon cable. That makes this connector suited for low-volume or field-assembled harnesses where you're pulling individual 26-28 AWG wires rather than a ribbon. The 1.50 mm pitch keeps the overall width tight — 11 positions in a single row at that pitch is about 16.5 mm across the contact centres. The closed end is the detail that matters during assembly: it gives a positive stop so the wire can't overshoot the slot and leave a bare conductor exposed at the back.
