Huizhou Antenk Electronics Co., Ltd. (IATF16949, ISO9001, ISO14001 certified) presents the 1.27mm White IDC Type For Cable. This insulation displacement connector (IDC) is specifically designed for 1.27mm pitch flat ribbon cable, providing rapid, solderless termination of multiple conductors in a single press operation. The white housing offers high contrast for easy visual identification in complex wiring harnesses and reflects less heat in high temperature environments. Manufactured from UL94 V-0 rated high temperature PBT or nylon 6/6, the housing features a polarized slot to prevent misinsertion and a strain relief cover that clamps the cable securely after termination. Contacts are stamped from phosphor bronze with selective gold or tin plating on the IDC fork tips, ensuring gas tight connections that resist oxidation and vibration. Key specifications include current rating 1A per contact, contact resistance below 25 milliohms, insulation resistance above 1000 megohms, dielectric strength 500V AC, and operating temperature from -40 to +105 degrees Celsius. The IDC fork design pierces the cable insulation and contacts the conductor in one action, eliminating wire stripping and soldering. The product is RoHS and REACH compliant and UL recognized under E472792.
Applications include computer internal wiring (IDE, SCSI), telecommunications equipment, medical devices, industrial control panels, security systems, and any application requiring quick, reliable mass termination of ribbon cable. Usage method: place the 1.27mm flat ribbon cable between the IDC housing and the cover, ensuring proper alignment with the polarizing key. Use a manual or pneumatic press tool to compress the assembly, driving the fork contacts through the insulation to contact the conductors. The strain relief cover locks into place, securing the cable. The connector can then be mated with a corresponding 1.27mm pin header. For daisy chaining, a pass through IDC type is available. Precautions: use correct cable gauge (typically 28 AWG stranded or solid), avoid reterminating the same cable section, ensure full press depth. Advantages over competitors: Antenks white IDC connector features a reinforced cover latch that resists accidental opening under vibration, and the high temperature plastic withstands reflow soldering of mating headers. The fork contacts are precision stamped with rounded tips to minimize conductor damage. Low MOQs of 1000 units with no tooling fees for standard circuit sizes (10 to 64 pins).
Production process: in house mold design for white housing and cover, injection molding on 10 Japanese and Taiwanese machines using high temperature PBT, high speed stamping of IDC fork contacts on 9 presses, selective gold or tin plating, automated assembly of contacts into housing, cover assembly and latch force testing, 100 percent electrical continuity and fork alignment inspection, contact resistance and insulation tests, 48 hour salt spray test, and final QC with lot traceability. Free samples, 2D and 3D CAD drawings, and 24 hour technical support available. Contact Antenk for custom circuit sizes, cover colors, and plating options.
