Termination and Wiring — What the IDC Means for the Build
IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination means the ribbon cable is pressed onto the fork-shaped contacts in one operation — no wire stripping, no crimping individual terminals. The 22-26 AWG range covers the common ribbon-cable gauges; the 2-position count makes this plug a natural fit for two-wire jumpers, sensor leads, or low-current power distribution where a full multi-position header would be overkill. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting lets it float in the harness rather than locking to a panel, which simplifies routing in confined enclosures.
