Product Overview and Functions
Type: 26-Pin Male IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) piercing male connector body.
Termination Method: IDC piercing type, can directly pierce the insulation layer of flat ribbon cable, eliminating the need for wire stripping and soldering.
Main Functions: Enables high-density parallel data transmission with a small to medium channel count.
Used for rapid fabrication of custom cable assemblies.
Provides a reliable industrial-grade connection solution with high assembly efficiency.
Can be used with plastic or metal housings to form complete connectors.

- Insulator/Housing Body: PBT + 30% GF (glass fiber reinforced), black, UL94 V-0 flame retardant, high rating, high temperature resistant, and mechanical impact resistant.
- Contacts: Copper Alloy or Phosphor Bronze.
Plagging:
- Contact Area: Gold Plating (5U"~30U"), oxidation resistant, corrosion resistant.
- IDC Piercing Edge: Special hardening treatment.
Structural Features:
- Spacing: 1.27mm (0.05 inch) high-density arrangement.
- IDC piercing structure (double-edged design), suitable for AWG28~AWG30 flat ribbon cables.
- It can be assembled with a plastic hood, spring clip, or screw clip.

Application in industrial machine vision systems (26-pin medium channel count applications)
Features and Reminders
- IDC Piercing Type: Quick assembly, no soldering required, suitable for mass production.
- 26 Pin: Moderate channel count, balancing density and cost.
- Main Applications: Machine vision, servo control, PLC I/O, test instruments, medical equipment, and other industrial applications.
Technical Documentation and Other Information
- Technical Documentation: A complete datasheet (including dimensions, IDC crimping specifications, recommended Ribbon Cable specifications, insertion and extraction forces, etc.) must be obtained from the manufacturer.
- Assembly Method: Main body + plastic/metal shell + IDC crimping + stress release.
- Customization: Supports different shell types, locking methods, plating thicknesses, etc.
- Certifications: RoHS, UL94 V-0, common industrial-grade certifications.
- Difference from Wire Bonding:
- Crimping (IDC): Fast assembly speed, suitable for mass production, but mainly limited to flat ribbon cables.
Wire Bonding: More flexible, can use round multi-core cables.
FAQ
Q: Is it compatible with standard IDC 26P?
A: ncompatible: HPCN (High Pin Count) features reinforced terminals and a metal casing, providing stronger locking and vibration resistance; standard IDC has a plastic casing, lower strength, and is not interchangeable.
Q: Can it be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled?
A: Not recommended: The piercing type is a one-time design, and the terminal blade will fatigue after one crimping; repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily lead to a surge in contact resistance, wire breakage, or short circuit.
Q: Piercing vs. Wire Bonding: Which to Choose?
A: Piercing: Fast (30 seconds/piece), solderless, suitable for mass production; disposable, non-repairable. Wire Bonding: Repairable, extremely high reliability; slow, requires soldering, high cost.
Q: Main body model and accessory list?
A: Standard accessories: zinc alloy shell, wire clip, locking buckle, fixing screw, spring clip
