CHAMP .085 64-Position IDC Receptacle
The TE Connectivity 552315-1 is a 64-position receptacle from the CHAMP.085 series, designed for high-density cable-to-board or cable-to-cable interconnects. It terminates flat ribbon cable or discrete wires via an IDC (insulation displacement contact) slot, eliminating the need for stripping or crimping individual terminals.
Termination and Contact Specs
IDC termination accepts 28-26 AWG ribbon cable or discrete wire with a.085-inch pitch — the series name references the centerline spacing. Gold over the full contact surface, not just a selective stripe, means the wiping action stays clean through the plating thickness.
The receptacle mounts free-hanging — no PCB footprint, no panel cutout. The housing/shell includes a 4-40 threaded flange for screw-mount retention, typical for rack-and-panel or chassis I/O where the connector needs to resist cable strain and maintain a solid ground bond. The two-row, 64-position layout keeps the connector width manageable for a standard 19-inch rack backplane or a control cabinet bulkhead.
The product status is Active, meaning TE Connectivity continues to manufacture this order code without an end-of-life notice.
Mating and System Fit
The 4-40 threaded flange on the receptacle aligns with the jack-screw or slide-lock hardware on the plug side, providing positive locking and grounding continuity. For a full cable assembly, pair this receptacle with the appropriate CHAMP.085 plug and the correct IDC termination tooling for 28-26 AWG ribbon cable.
