Ribbon IDC
An insulation-displacement connector for ribbon cable. It terminates ten conductors in one operation, which is the whole reason it exists.

RANGE
Three board connectors, and how each one is terminated.
The range covers ribbon IDC, board headers and shielded backshells. Each product page carries the feature that decides the connection and the questions worth settling before an order.
Product
Pin header
A two-row header with square pins in an insulator block. The pin is square rather than round because the mating socket is a tuning-fork contact.

Shielded backshell
A two-part shell that closes over a cable entry and bonds the shield. The bond is the specification, because a shield that is not bonded is an antenna.
Open the product →How the range is organised.
By how the connection is made rather than by what the part looks like. An IDC part is decided by its tool, a header by its plating, a backshell by its bond.
- Mass-terminated parts
- Decided by the tool and the press depth, because one operation makes every joint
- Mated parts
- Decided by the plating, because that is what wears
- Shielded parts
- Decided by the bond, because the shield is only a conductor
- Board parts
- Decided by the pitch and the pin form, because the socket grips a face
