The KYOCERA AVX 9176-800 series low-profile insulation displacement connectors (IDC) provide a robust wire-to-board termination in harsh environments. Designed specifically for 22-28AWG discrete wires, these connectors reduce the 'Z' axis height and overall volume, making them ideal for space-constrained applications. They are widely used in smart metering, LED lighting, industrial controls, and portable monitoring devices. The connectors feature a gas-tight, cold-welded connection and can be potted or over-molded for environmental protection. Available in configurations from 1 to 4 positions, they offer flexibility for various wire gauges and insulation diameters.
