DuoPlug 4-Position IDC Receptacle — 0.098" Pitch, Right-Angle Exit
The TE Connectivity DuoPlug 4-1534796-4 is a 4-position, single-row receptacle that terminates discrete 22-24 AWG wire via IDC — no crimp tool, no loose terminals. It mounts free-hanging (in-line) with a right-angle cable exit, which keeps the wire bundle parallel to the board edge rather than standing straight off the connector face. The natural housing is RoHS3 compliant, and the tin-plated female blade socket contacts suit moderate-cycle, low-cost harness applications where repeated mate-unmate is infrequent.
IDC Termination and Wire Range — 22-24 AWG Discrete
That means the build relies on the wire gauge being within the 22-24 AWG range; outside that, the slot either doesn't cut through the insulation or the conductor is too small for a gas-tight fit. Discrete wire, not ribbon cable, is the intended input — each conductor is individually aligned to its position in the tooling nest. For a harness shop, this part skips the crimp-and-stuff step and goes straight from cut wire to seated connector in one press stroke.
Active Lifecycle and Sourcing
The tray packaging (not tape-and-reel) means it feeds into a pick-and-place line only if the shop has a tray feeder or a tube-to-tape conversion step — something to flag for the production planner before the reel count is assumed.
The 'Mates to PCB' feature indicates the receptacle is designed to mate directly with a PCB-mounted header or blade contact array — not with another housing. The female blade socket contacts accept a male blade or pin on the board. The right-angle cable exit orients the wire bundle parallel to the PCB, which helps in shallow enclosures where straight-out cable clearance is tight.
