The 917X series of surface mount Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) were developed to meet the harsh requirements of automotive and industrial applications. This industry proven series of connectors provides a robust, reliable, and efficient method to connect individual wires ranging from 12 AWG to 30 AWG directly to a PCB. The single contact design can function as a standalone component. It provides our designers access to IDC technology in an easy-to-use form factor allowing them to bring power and signal to a PCB in a wide range of applications. These connectors have been tested to various levels of shock, vibration, and temperature cycling to prove their reliability and robustness

The single 9176-500 series contact and cap accepts 18 AWG to 24 AWG wires. These dual beam contacts support up to a 10 Amp current rating (dependent on wire gauge) with a large SMT solder base to provide maximum stability on the PCB. The optional locking strain relief cap acts as the termination tool for severe vibration applications.
