Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) for flat ribbon cable Female connectors size C, 64 and 96-pin similar to DIN 41 612/IEC 60603-2 General Main features ERNI insulation displacement connectors similar to DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 are suitable for assembling flat ribbon cable. * Two-part connector system * Pitch 2,54 mm (1/10") * Built according to DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2, the most widespred connector standard with 13 basic sizes * Two sided female contacts * Double insulation displacement contacts with four points of contact per conductor (64-pin version only) * Accurate locating of the flat ribbon cable in the cable guide * Numbered openings in the cable guide allow the connection to be inspected visually and checked electrically from the wiring side. * Connector housings available for 90 and 180 cable entries * Low-cost parallel back-panel wiring for racks * With the ERNI interfacing system the connector is suitable for creating links from the front or back panel of the rack. The female connectors are available with the standard pin numbers 64 and 96. * Female connectors size C, 64-pin, rows a c * Female connectors size C, 96-pin, rows a b c Reliable and economic wiring of the flat ribbon cable is performed by a single operation. The flat ribbon cable fixed in the cable guide is pressed onto the insulation displacement contacts of the female connector using a simple tool (pliers or istalled press). A reliable connection is made via a double insulation displacement contact, the pointed ends of which puncture the insulation of the flat cable and make contact with the conductors at high pressure. www.ERNI.com/contact/ catalog E 074484 89 05/02 Edition 4 Electrical and mechanical characteristics Max. number of contacts 64 96 Max. number of contacts Contact row designation ac abc Temperature range - 65 C...+ 125 C Shock and vibration proofness No contact breakdown at 20g and 10...2000Hz Service life to DIN 41 612, part 5 Performance level 2 400 Performance level 3 50 Housing material of female connectors PBT 30% GV Current rating at ambient temperature + 20 C + 70 C + 100 C 2A 1,5 A 1A Contact material Test voltage 50 Hz, 1min Contact / Contact Contact / ground 600 Veff 1000 Veff Permissible humidity Annualaverage 80 % Test class 65/125/56 max. 100 % 20 m Contact resistance Mating and withdrawal force for the assembled connectors max N 64 96 Cu Alloy Cu Alloy 64 pin 60 N 96 pin 90 N Inflammability of the plastic UL 94 V-0 10 Insulation resistance Performance level 307 Conforms to the requirements as per DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 performance level 3 50 mating cyles Contact zone gold-plated Terminal zone tin-plated 207 Conforms to the requirements as per DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 performance level 2 400 mating cyles Contact zone gold-plated Terminal zone tin-platedd Example of how to order 90 catalog E 074484 www.ERNI.com/contact/ 05/02 Edition 4 Female connectors size C, 64 and 96-pin insulation displacement connectors similar to DIN 41 612/IEC 60603-2 Dimensional drawings Female connector C-64 pin Female connector C-96 pin www.ERNI.com/contact/ catalog E 074484 91 05/02 Edition 4 Ordering details All female connectors with insulation displacement contacts are supplied with cable guides.
