Pros and cons of IDC connectors

IDC connector series products existed as early as 1950, and are a recognized design type. Many manufacturers provide a wider range of design and processing options, which was accepted by people at that time and can be used in various lines Gauge, pin size and centerline. After knowing the origin of the IDC connector, next, Konnra connector engineer will give you the advantages and disadvantages of IDC connector.

Konnra connector engineers pointed out that IDC connectors, also known as insulation piercing contacts (IPC), are one of the common electrical connectors and are mostly used to connect to conductors of insulated cables. This connection process will force the selectively sharpened blade to pass through the insulation layer without removing the insulation conductor before connection. After being properly fabricated, the connector blade can be cold welded to the conductor, thereby achieving a reliable and gas-tight connection in theory.

1. What are the advantages of IDC connectors

IDC connectors can be manufactured faster than other types of connectors and at a lower cost. Literally, dozens of wires and contacts can be processed at once. Moreover, it is not necessary to strip the insulation layer on the wire before wiring, nor to weld or crimp separately, which can save a lot of time and save money. Most IDCs can be processed by basic manual or other simple tools, so it usually requires less force to terminate the ribbon cable to the IDC contacts. In addition, IDC connectors can also increase the durability of components, such as locking clips, ejection latches, stress relief and polarization functions.
2,What are the disadvantages of IDC connectors

During the assembly process of the IDC connector, although the metal blade can penetrate any surface oxide on the wire, it is still defective. Desso IDC connector engineers believe that one of the biggest disadvantages of ribbon cables and IDC connectors is that the cables are relatively difficult to bend and are hard, and the cables must almost propagate from a termination point to a relatively straight line or minimum bend and angle another side.
