The TE Connectivity 5552403-1 is a 50-position receptacle from the CHAMP.085 series, terminated via IDC for mass-termination to 0.085-inch pitch ribbon cable.
Integrated Backshell and Cable Clamp
The housing ships with a backshell, cable clamp, and mounting hardware included. That means one line item on the BOM covers strain relief and shielding termination — no separate clamp or shell to source. The flange features 4-40 threaded inserts for panel-mount or mating with the plug's jackscrews, giving a positive lock that resists vibration in rack-mounted gear.
Termination and Assembly Note
IDC termination requires a mass-termination press — the ribbon cable is laid across the slot contacts and pressed down, displacing insulation to make contact. No wire stripping or individual crimping. The 2-row, 50-position layout matches standard 0.085-inch pitch ribbon cable; verify the cable width and keying before committing the assembly. The right-angle exit means the cable runs perpendicular to the connector face, which can simplify routing in shallow enclosures.
