Discrete Wire IDC
Series 9177
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. The simplicity of inserting a wire into the connector with
a small tool allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering. In
SSL applications specifically, these connectors 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 housing has been designed to
grab the insulation of the wire to provide 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 9177 series accepts 14 AWG to 20 AWG wires with an insulation diameter ranging from
2.75mm to 4.25mm. These dual contact connectors support a 15 amp current rating with
two large SMT solder tails per wire to provide maximum stability on the PCB. Available in 1p-
3p configuration, these connectors can be end stackable for higher pin counts.
