Frequently asked questions
What does IDC mean and why does it matter?
Insulation Displacement Connector. A metal fork pierces the insulation and cold-welds to the conductor, so no stripping is needed. A whole row terminates in one press, which suits multi-core ribbon in volume.
Which pitch should I pick for ribbon cable?
Board headers are commonly 2.54mm (0.1 in) and high-density cable ends are commonly 1.27mm (0.05 in). Choose from the board pitch first, then confirm the cable end fits the wire gauge.
Can an IDC connector be re-terminated?
Only a limited number of times. Each press cuts a new notch in the same conductor and reduces contact reliability. To change a harness, cut and terminate a fresh end rather than re-pressing in place.
IDC or crimp in a vibration environment?
Crimp with a housing is more stable for single wires under vibration. IDC relies on the strain-relief clip to hold multi-core flat ribbon in place.
