IDC Plug for Discrete Wire – 8 Circuits, 0.100" Pitch
The 5-103945-7: It terminates 22-26 AWG wire directly via insulation displacement — no crimp tool needed, just a simple press. A latch holder on the housing locks it to the mating header, giving positive retention against vibration in a harness. The black single-row body is free-hanging (in-line), so it lands in a cable assembly, not on a board.
Wire Prep and Termination – What the IDC Means on the Floor
IDC termination skips the crimp terminal and the extra handling step — the wire is pressed into the slot, and the insulation is displaced by the contact tines. For 22-26 AWG discrete wire, the slot geometry is fixed; the harness builder needs a simple arbor press or a hand tool with the correct die. No solder, no crimp barrel — just a clean, repeatable termination that holds up in moderate-vibration environments when the latch is engaged.
