CHAMP .085 24-Position Shielded IDC Receptacle
The TE Connectivity CHAMP.085 5554434-1 is a 24-position, 2-row receptacle with outer shroud contacts, terminated via IDC to ribbon cable. It is panel-mounted using a board-side 6-32 flange, and the shielded shell provides EMI containment for the signal pair.
IDC Termination and Cable Assembly
IDC termination means the 24 conductors are mass-terminated by pressing the ribbon cable onto the insulation-displacement slots — no individual wire stripping, crimping, or soldering. This makes the 5554434-1 a production-efficient choice for high-density cable harnesses where every termination point must be repeatable.
Panel Mounting with 6-32 Flange
The board-side 6-32 flange bolts the receptacle to a chassis or panel, providing mechanical retention and a ground bond for the shield. This mounting style is standard for I/O panels where the connector must withstand cable strain without transferring load to the IDC contacts. The panel cutout must accommodate the flange screw pattern — confirm the panel thickness and screw length before committing the layout.
