SSL - Discrete Wire IDC Contact & Cap
Series 9176-500
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.
