AMPHENOL 24 Way 2.54mm IDC Socket with Strain Relief

The AMPHENOL 24 Way 2.54mm IDC Socket is a high-reliability connector designed for secure cable termination, featuring an integrated strain relief for added durability. Its Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) design allows for quick, solderless termination, significantly speeding up assembly while ensuring a gas-tight, low-resistance connection. The gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining signal integrity over long-term use. The connector body is moulded from UL94V-0 rated PBT glass-reinforced thermoplastic, offering superior flame retardancy and mechanical strength in demanding environments.

Specifications and Performance

• Electrical Performance: The socket boasts a low maximum contact resistance of 20mΩ at 1ADC, minimising power loss and heat generation. It offers high insulation resistance of 1000MΩ at 500VDC and a dielectric withstanding voltage of 500VAC at 60Hz for one minute, ensuring safe operation and isolation between contacts.
• Ratings: Each contact is rated for 3A current and 250VAC at 60Hz, making it suitable for a wide range of power and signal applications. The robust black housing and integrated strain relief protect the terminations from physical stress, vibration, and cable pull-out.
• Construction: The combination of gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a high-grade thermoplastic insulator ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability. The cable-mount design facilitates straightforward integration into wiring harnesses and assemblies.

This connector is an essential component for creating robust, reliable interconnects in professional electronic systems, providing a perfect balance of performance, safety, and ease of installation.
