What is an ‌IDC connector? Crimping of Custom IDC Connector Harnesses

What is an ‌IDC connector?
‌IDC connector is an electrical connector that connects cables to electronic devices through insulation displacement technology. ‌ It uses a straight-in structure and blade shearing technology to quickly and efficiently complete cable connection work. The advantages of IDC connectors include safety, durability, easy operation, and no need for welding or pins, which reduces production costs and production time and improves production efficiency. It is widely used in computers, communication equipment, automotive electronics and other fields. ‌

The main structure of the IDC connector includes a connector body and a socket. The connector body is usually made of insulating material with a crimping unit inside, while the socket is made of metal and has a wire jack. When the wire is inserted, the jack of the socket squeezes the insulation layer of the wire through the crimping unit, so that the conductor of the wire is connected to the circuit board in the connector body, thereby realizing the connection of the circuit.

Compared with traditional welding and pin connection methods, IDC connectors have the advantages of small size, light weight, and reliable connection. In addition, it also has the characteristics of waterproof, shockproof, and anti-interference, which makes it widely used in outdoor electronic equipment, automotive electronics, avionics and other fields.

Crimping of Custom IDC Connector Harnesses:
An insulation-displacement contact (IDC) piercing terminal wire is an electrical connector that creates a reliable connection to insulated cable conductors without stripping the insulation:
How it works
A sharpened blade is forced through the insulation to create contact with the conductor. This cold-welds the connector blade to the conductor, creating a gas-tight connection.
Benefits
IDC connectors are easy to use, don’t require soldering, and can connect to multiple wires at once. They’re often used in computer systems, transportation components, and monitoring and access control systems.
When to consider
When choosing an IDC connector, you can consider things like:
Gender: IDC connectors can be male (plug) or female (socket or header).
Pitch: The distance between each contact, which needs to be compatible with the ribbon connector you’re connecting.
