AMPHENOL 26 Way 2.54 mm Pitch IDC Socket

The AMPHENOL 26 Way 2.54 mm Pitch IDC Socket is a 26-way cable-mount connector with 2.54 mm pitch spacing, designed for connecting ribbon cables to printed circuit boards and control systems.

Overview

The socket features 26 contacts arranged in a compact 2-row configuration. It uses Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) technology, which allows wires to be terminated quickly and securely without the need for stripping, helping to streamline assembly processes and reduce installation time.

Construction

The contacts are made from phosphor bronze and are flash gold-plated, supporting electrical conductivity, low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. The insulator body is made from glass-reinforced thermoplastic, specifically Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), which is rated UL 94V-0 for flame retardancy.

Electrical Performance

• Maximum contact resistance of 20 mΩ at 1A DC
• Minimum insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ at 500V DC
• Contact current rating of 3A per contact
• Voltage rating of 250V AC at 60Hz RMS

Dimensions and Mounting

• Width: 3.3
• Depth: 1.5
• Height: 4.3
• Weight: 1 gm
• Cable-mount design with no integrated strain relief, so strain management can be handled elsewhere in the cable harness

Applications

This socket is suited to automation, telecommunications and instrumentation equipment, and is ideal for use in enclosed assemblies. Its 2.54 mm pitch makes it a versatile choice for connecting ribbon cables within control systems and to printed circuit boards.

Choose the AMPHENOL 26 Way 2.54 mm Pitch IDC Socket when you need a 26-contact IDC connection for ribbon cable termination in demanding electronic applications.
