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 9176-700 series moves beyond the technical and performance attributes of our previous IDC connectors and enhances the “User Friendliness” for terminating 18 to 24 AWG wires. The simplicity of inserting a wire into an SMT contact with the integrated retention / termination cap, provides a wire to board solution without soldering or special tools. The wire is inserted into the cap (no stripping required) and then pressed down to provide a secure “Gas Tight” termination.
