Overview

The 1658622-6 is a 26-position rectangular receptacle from the AMP-LATCH Novo series, designed for reliable ribbon cable terminations. It features insulation displacement contacts (IDC) with a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch, utilizing a forked contact design for redundant electrical connection points. The connector includes polarizing keys and is gold-plated to ensure signal integrity in wire-to-board configurations.

Why Choose This Part

The forked contact design provides two points of contact on each wire for increased reliability compared to single-beam IDC terminals. The use of gold-palladium or gold plating over nickel ensures high corrosion resistance and low contact resistance over the connector lifetime. It supports feed-through capability, allowing for daisy-chaining multiple connectors on a single ribbon cable.
