3M 20-Way IDC Connector Socket for Cable Mount, 2-Row

The 451 series ribbon cable wire mount sockets are a new series that offers a robust connector in a very small package with various options. Fine pitch offers high connection density in a very small space. Optional friction latch configurations help decrease accidental disconnection when using a box header. Further protection against damage caused by users pulling on terminated cable can also be increased with the optional strain relief accessory.

Need a robust connector socket for your ribbon-cable assembly? Use this straight-body female IDC connector socket from 3M. The unit establishes up to 20 contact points through crimp termination, so it's suitable for high-density connection applications. With its wide operating temperature range of -65°C to +105°C, it can be used in demanding environments, while its gold-over-nickel contact plating offers resistance to wear and corrosion.

• Pitch of 1.27mm for installation in smaller spaces
• Copper contact material for reliable conductivity
• Robust PBT housing to withstand wear in hard environments

• Telecommunications
• High-density connection applications
• Data transmission

When this IDC connector is used at its rated voltage of 125V AC, its current rating will depend on the number of lines energised. The rating is 1A when all lines are energised, 1.5A with six energised and 2.5A with one energised.
