Product details

IDC Receptacle for 18 AWG Wire Harnesses

The housing is orange, carries a closed end to prevent wire push-through, and includes a polarizing key that aligns with the matching header to prevent mis-mating on the assembly line.

Harness Assembly Fit

The closed end means the receptacle accepts wire only from the open side, which prevents a wire from being pushed through the back of the housing during assembly. The polarizing key on the receptacle aligns with a slot on the header, so the connector can only be mated in the correct orientation.
