Description
Product Overview
The IDC 2X13 26‑Pin 2.54mm Pitch Male Dual‑Row Plug is engineered to deliver a secure, low‑resistance connection for flat ribbon cable assemblies. Each plug features 26 precisely spaced pins arranged in two rows of 13, providing a compact footprint while maintaining robust mechanical stability. The pins are fabricated from high‑conductivity copper alloy, plated with a tin finish to resist corrosion and ensure consistent electrical performance over time. The 2.54mm (0.1″) pitch matches industry‑standard flat cable specifications, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of devices, from consumer electronics to industrial control systems.
Designed with a clear pin‑1 triangle indicator, the plugs simplify orientation during installation, reducing the risk of misalignment and potential damage to the cable or connector. The housing is molded from a flame‑retardant, impact‑resistant polymer that meets UL94 V‑0 standards, offering protection against fire hazards while withstanding the rigors of repeated insertion and removal cycles. The 10‑pack configuration provides ample inventory for batch production, prototyping runs, or maintenance stock, ensuring that you never run short of the essential components needed for reliable system assembly.
Usage
These IDC plugs are ideally suited for a variety of applications where flat ribbon cables are employed. In laboratory environments, they enable rapid prototyping of data acquisition systems, allowing engineers to connect sensor arrays, signal conditioning modules, and microcontroller boards with minimal effort. In manufacturing settings, the plugs facilitate the wiring of control panels, PLC interfaces, and machine‑to‑machine communication links, delivering a clean, organized cable management solution that reduces clutter and improves serviceability.
Field technicians appreciate the ease of use when performing on‑site repairs or upgrades. The plugs can be quickly mated to FD‑26P socket connectors, which are commonly found on equipment such as CNC machines, medical imaging devices, and aerospace instrumentation. Their durable construction ensures that even in harsh environments—exposed to vibration, temperature fluctuations, or moisture—the connection remains stable, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
For hobbyists and makers, the plugs open up possibilities for custom controller projects, robotics, and DIY audio equipment. The standard 2.54mm pitch aligns with popular development platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone, making it straightforward to integrate flat ribbon cables into breadboard prototypes or printed circuit board (PCB) designs.
