9176-700 Series IDC Connectors

KYOCERA AVX's 9176-700 series four- and five-position capped insulation displacement contact (IDC) connectors for 18 AWG to 24 AWG wire are engineered to satisfy the demanding requirements of automotive, transportation, industrial, lighting, and medical applications.

The 9176-700 series capped IDC connectors have a user-friendly, low-profile surface-mount form factor with an integrated termination/retention cap that allows users to simply insert a wire into the contact with no stripping required, and press it down to provide a robust and reliable gas-tight connection to the PCB. This quick and efficient process doesn’t require any tools or solder, which reduces both complexity and cost compared to solder and crimp processes, and the resulting connections have been tested to various levels of shock, vibration, and temperature cycling.

The 9176-700 series is available in through-wire and wire-stop variants for maximum flexibility. Through-wire models allow wires to be terminated at any point, while wire-stop models terminate the end of the wire and have a stop face feature to protect the wire end. These connectors are available with one to five positions capable of terminating 18 AWG stranded wire or 20 AWG to 24 AWG solid or stranded wire and are rated for up to 10 A per position depending on wire size. Single-contact 9176-700 series connectors are rated for 600 V_AC(RMS) or the DC equivalent. Two- through five-position connectors are rated for 300 V_AC(RMS) or the DC equivalent. The series is also rated for operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +125°C and storage temperatures extending from -40°C to +70°C.

The 9176-700 series connectors have glass-filled high-temperature UL94 V-0 nylon insulators and high-strength phosphor bronze contacts with pure tin over nickel plating. They also share a contact and footprint pattern with the rest of the 9176 series for full backward compatibility.

White insulators are standard, but the entire series is also available with black insulators. In addition, single-position 9176-700 contacts are available with blue, yellow, red, green, orange, and brown insulators by special order.

The 9176-700 series is compliant with RoHS and UL 1977 standards and shipped in tape-and-reel packaging with 600 parts per 300 mm reel. Lead-time for the series is currently eight weeks.
