3M 20-Way IDC Connector Plug for Cable Mount, 2-Row

78 Series 2.54 x 2.54mm PCB mount two row IDC ribbon cable transition connectors that allow ribbon cable connection to a PCB without the need for two connectors thus reducing costs. These 78 Series PCB IDC transition connectors have a 7.3mm terminated height for low profile off the board applications, solder bumps built into the housings that facilitate board cleaning and fit a standard 2.54 x 2.54mm header layout.

This IDC connector is a highly reliable solution for electronic applications, featuring a 20 contact layout and right angle design. It measures a pitch of 2.54mm and is cable-mounted, facilitating effective space utilisation on printed circuit boards. Constructed from durable PET housing and copper contact materials, it ensures excellent performance across a wide temperature range.
