Amphenol 26-Way 2.54mm Pitch IDC Socket with Strain Relief

The Amphenol T812 Series IDC Socket is a high-performance, 26-way connector designed for secure and reliable cable termination in demanding electronic applications. This 2-row socket features precision-engineered, flash gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, ensuring excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity.

The connector utilises Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) termination, allowing for quick, tool-assisted crimping directly onto ribbon cables without the need for wire stripping. The integrated strain relief mechanism provides robust mechanical support, protecting the cable-to-connector joint from vibration, pulling, and flexing, which significantly enhances the assembly's durability and reliability.

Housed in a robust insulator made from glass-reinforced thermoplastic (UL 94V-0 rated) and PBT, the socket offers superior flame retardancy and high-temperature stability. This makes it exceptionally suitable for industrial environments where safety and performance under stress are critical.

Key Electrical Specifications:

• Maximum Contact Resistance: 20mΩ at 1A DC
• Minimum Insulation Resistance: 1000MΩ at 500V DC
• Current Rating per Contact: 3A
• Voltage Rating: 250V AC at 60Hz RMS

With its compact dimensions, high contact density, and reliable IDC termination, this socket is an ideal solution for creating permanent, space-efficient connections within control systems, data acquisition units, and other industrial electronics.
