Single IDC Contact 18-24 AWG: WTB
9176-500
INTER
CONNECT
The 917X series of surface mount Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) were developed to meet
the harsh automotive and industrial market applications for connecting individual wires directly to a PCB
ranging from 14 AWG to 28 AWG. This industry proven contact system has been tested to automotive
levels of shock, vibration, and temperature cycling to prove their reliability and robustness. This new
single contact was developed as a standalone component to enhance the application uses with the IDC
technology. The simplicity of inserting a wire into an SMT contact with a small tool or optional retention
/ termination cap allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering. In SSL
applications specifically, these contacts are used to bring power and signal onto the PCB or are used to
daisy chain multiple boards together in a long string. While the IDC contact provides a gas-tight
connection to conductor of the wire, the optional cap provides a positive strain relief even in the harshest
conditions. In case of repair, the wires can be removed and replace up to three times.
The single 9176 series contact and cap accepts 18 AWG to 24 AWG wires with an insulation diameter
ranging from 1.1mm to 2.1mm. These dual beam contacts support a 10 amp current rating with a large
SMT solder base to provide maximum stability on the PCB. The optional locking strain relief cap acts
as the termination tool for severe vibration applications.
