The 9176 series surface mount Insulation Displacement Connector accepts 18 to 24AWG wires with an insulation diameter ranging from 1.1 to 2.1mm. These dual contact connectors support a 10A current rating with two large SMT solder tails per wire to provide maximum stability on the PCB. Available in 1p to 3p configuration, these connectors can be end stackable for higher pin counts. The 9176 series also comes with optional locking strain-relief caps that act as the termination tool for severe vibration applications. This industry proven contact system has been tested to automotive levels of shock, vibration and temperature cycling to prove their reliability and robustness. The simplicity of inserting a wire into the connector with a small tool allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering. In SSL applications specifically, these connectors are used to bring power and signal onto the PCB or are used to daisy chain multiple boards together in a long string.
