IDC Connectors for Discrete Wires XG5 Trouble-free discrete-wire termination * with IDC Sockets that accommodate MIL Plugs. Two-slot, IDC construction and insulation barrel offer high reliability and large-current (3A) discrete wiring capability. Adaptable to a variety of covers for space-saving and discrete wire termination. By using the simple, unique lock-lever system, these Connectors can be locked to either the XG8B/XG8W Unshrouded Plugs (with right-angle terminals) or XG4C Box-type Plugs. Conforms to UL standards (file no. E103202). (Except for XG5S models) RoHS Compliant * Excluding XG5S Terminology Insulation barrel Insulation height Wire Refers to the part of a Refers to the height of the contact that crimps the insulation barrel after insulating sheath of a crimping or IDC pressing. Insulation wire. height Lance Refers to the lance-like projections arranged on a contact to secure it in the housing. Insulation barrel Lance 2-slot IDC pressing U-slot Mating end Refers to the part where the wire and the contact connect to each other. It is called a U-slot because of its shape. Construction Solderless Contact Cover (Semi-cover or Hood Cover) Semi-cover shown here. Socket (with polarizing guide) Wire can be connected without stripping cable insulation.
