Navigating IDC Connectors: Key Types for Efficiency and Reliability

IDC Connectors, essential electronic components in modern interconnect systems, can be categorized based on various characteristics and applications:

By Socket Configuration:

• Single-row sockets for single-line cable connections

• Dual-row sockets for double-line cable arrangements

By Pin Density:

• Low-density versions for simpler connections

• High-density types for complex wiring requirements

By Application:

• Flat cable connectors for internal computer and printer applications

• Wire-to-Board Connectors for cable-to-PCB interfaces

• Wire-to-Wire Connectors for direct cable interconnections

By Package Style:

• Socket-type for cable termination

• IDC terminals for discrete wire fixing
