SSL - 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.
