IDC Terminals provide one-step attachment.
Press Release Summary:
Custom ETCO IDC (insulation displacement connection) Terminals promote accelerated assembly of 30 or more wires into one terminal by integrating set of blades into connector design that cut through wire insulation. Suited for solid wire applications from 18-28 Ga, connectors utilize preloaded internal contacts for wire attachment, create gas-tight contacts, and eliminate need for wire stripping and crimping. Supplied as strip, products can be made in sizes from .001-.032 in. thick.
Original Press Release:
IDC Terminals Provide One-Step Attachment
Custom engineered IDC (insulation displacement connection) terminals that utilize preloaded internal contacts for wire attachment and eliminate the need for labor intensive wire stripping equipment have been introduced by ETCO Incorporated of Warwick, Rhode Island.
ETCO IDC Connectors allow for the rapid assembly of multiple wires into one terminal by integrating a set of blades into the connector design which cuts through the insulation of the wires and provides one-step attachment. Ideally suited for solid wire applications from 18 to 28 Ga, they create gas tight contacts and eliminate the need for wire stripping and crimping.
Permitting high-speed, fully automated assembly and testing of 30 or more wires, depending upon the connector type, ETCO IDC Connectors require much lower insertion forces than crimped connectors. Supplied as strip for auto- mated processing equipment, they can be made in sizes from .001" to .032" thick from brass, tinned brass, phosphor bronze, and beryllium copper.
ETCO IDC Connectors are priced according to design, material, and quantity. Samples and price quotations are available upon request.
