IDC branch connector for large range of wire sizes

摘要

An IDC branch connector comprises an IDC connection section positioned on a central carrier strip. Strain relief sections extend from either side of the carrier strip such that a wire terminated to the IDC section is securely held on either side. The IDC section comprises first IDC slots positioned between second larger IDC slots such that a large range of wire sizes can be terminated thereto. The branch connector is overmoulded by an insulative housing, whereby the carrier strip can be maintained between a plurality of connector modules depending on the number of wires to be interconnected.
