3M 64-Way IDC Connector Male for Cable, 2 Row

Quickly and easily connect ribbon cable using this male IDC (insulation-displacement contact) connector from 3M. The shrouded design protects the pins, while open ends make daisy-chaining and bussing straightforward. As an ejector header connector, it enables quick disconnection. No stripping or preparation of the wires is necessary as the IDC mechanism uses a blade to slice through the insulation material on the wire and make an electrical connection with the conductor. The 2.54mm pitch is compatible with industry-standard 1.27mm pitch ribbon cable.

• Robust polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing provides long-lasting performance

• Computer networking

There are three main considerations when choosing an IDC connector. First, what gender do you need – a male plug or female socket? Second, how many pins arranged in how many rows are suitable? Third, what pitch (the distance between each conductor) suits the wire you're using.
