Applications

IDCs are designed to be used with flat ribbon cables, and can support a huge range of wire-to-board applications. They’re mainly used in computers connecting drives, cd drives, SSD’s and other components that aren’t on the motherboard. They’re also found in phones, laptops and plenty of other devices.

An IDC connector is also known as an insulation displacement connector, this is because it terminates by slicing through a cable's insulation and making a ’cold-weld’ from the connector to the wire. With no soldering or specialist tooling to worry about, IDC connectors save a huge amount of time compared to stripping the wires, so makes for an easy and efficient install. As such, when it comes to reducing assembly times, these connectors are an attractive option.
