The 2P18U3/8 insulation displacement connector (IDC) has been widely used in the fields for its many advantages. This article will mainly talk about its application field and working principle.

Application Field

IDC has been proved to be a perfect solution to forming strong, reliable connections for any cable to cable, wire to wire, or board to board electrical connections. It has been applied in many fields, including telecommunication devices, computers and peripheral devices, electrical appliances and automotive industry.

In telecommunication devices, IDC connectors have a main role in connecting the cables of peripheral equipment and the mainframe. They can form a reliable connection with low probability of failure and low cost to manufacture. Meanwhile, as for computers and other devices, IDC connectors can be used to connect Ethernet cables, keyboards, and printers, etc. In addition, they can be applied in the electrical appliances and panel building industry. IDC connectors also provide the means to interconnect and terminate the wiring between components in automotive industry.

Working Principle

The 2P18U3/8 IDC Connectors are designed to reduce the wiring labor and cost. They achieve this through a design that allows the electrical wires to be inserted into the connector without any soldering. This is called insulation displacement contact (IDC). It works by having one conductor embedded in the insulation and another conductor laid on top of it. When the two conductors are pressed together, their electrical connections are made through the insulation material.

When the two conductors are pressed together, this contact is made through the insulation material. This is done by having a blade created on the top half of the connector which is made up of multiple teeth. Once this blade passes through the insulation of the wire, it creates a strong electrical connection between the two conductors.

The design of the 2P18U3/8 IDC connector allows for easier installation as well as improved reliability. The crimped tabs ensure proper cable to connector connection and provide strain relief. The various designs give the user different options for different applications and the various colors help with identification and organization.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 2P18U3/8 IDC connector is widely used in different fields for its many advantages. They can be used to form reliable, strong connections that are low cost, simple to install and remain reliable for long term usage. The working principle of IDC involves a blade which is embedded in the insulation materials to make electrical connection when the two conductors are pressed together.
