The TE AMPMODU 50/50 Grid 5-104893-3 is a 30-position, dual-row IDC receptacle designed for mass-termination to 28 AWG ribbon cable. The 0.050" pitch on both contacts and rows matches standard 0.025" ribbon cable conductor spacing, so the cable presses directly into the insulation-displacement slots in one operation — no wire stripping or crimping. The closed-end housing prevents the cable from pushing through, and the black colour is the standard for this series.
Wiring and termination fit
This receptacle terminates 28 AWG ribbon cable via IDC — the cable is aligned over the slot array and pressed down with a hand or pneumatic tool. The 0.050" row spacing mirrors the contact pitch, so the entire 30-conductor cable terminates in a single pass. The free-hanging mounting style means the connector is used as an in-line cable end, typically mating with a matching 0.050" pitch header on a PCB. The closed-end feature blocks the cable from exiting the back, which is a practical detail during assembly — no separate strain-relief piece to lose.
Comparing to a sibling: 1-226733-4
The closest functional sibling in the AMPMODU family is the 1-226733-4, a 17-position dual-row IDC receptacle with the same 0.050" pitch, gold female sockets, and free-hanging mount. The 30-position 5-104893-3 is the higher-circuit-count option — 30 positions vs 17 — which is the only decision-relevant difference for a harness designer matching circuit count on a BOM. Both use the same termination process and mate with the same header family, so the choice is purely about position count.
