Capped IDC
Series 9176-700
The market and applications for simple and reliable discrete Wire-to-Board connectors
continue to evolve. AVX first introduced the 9176 series of surface mountable Insulation
Displacement Connectors (IDC) in 2007. Developed for harsh industrial and automotive
applications, these connectors have been used in hundreds of applications from today’s
“Smart Meter” all the way down to a simple sensor termination to a PCB. Size and
performance has been one of the key factors for selecting this connector in terminating
18-24AWG wires to a PCB.
The next generation of IDC connector moves beyond all of the technical and
performance attributes to address the “User Friendliness” of the product. By changing
the insulator from acting as a connector body and make it more like a contact carrier, the
insulator becomes the wire location and insertion aid without any special tools. The wire
is just inserted into the cap (no stripping required) and then pressed down to provide a
secure “Gas Tight” termination. This configuration simplifies and cost reduces the entire
wire termination process for connecting discrete wires to a PCB.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• IDC contact provides a gas-tight connection to the PCB for long term
reliability
• Plastic cap retains the contacts in position prior to automatic placement,
then acts as the assembly tool to terminate the wires; no special tooling.
• Tested to automotive levels on shock, vibration and temperature cycling
for reliability
• Identical contact and footprint pattern to the existing 9176 for full back-
ward compatibility and functionality
• The IDC contact reduces the total applied cost versus solder or crimp
processes
• Connectors are available in two configurations for maximum flexibility;
End and Through Wire
APPLICATIONS
• Connecting discrete wire components to a PCB
• Bringing power and signals onto a PCB
• Daisy chaining PCB’s together to create a
continuous string
