Overview

The 3473-7600 is a 10-position rectangular IDC receptacle from 3M's 3000 Series, designed for efficient mass termination of ribbon cables. It features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch with a closed-end design and integrated polarizing keys to ensure correct alignment during mating. This female socket connector is engineered for 26-28 AWG wire, providing a reliable gold-plated interface for wire-to-board applications.

Why Choose This Part

The IDC termination method allows for rapid assembly without the need for stripping individual wires, significantly reducing labor costs in cable production. It features 30 microinches of gold plating on the contact area for high durability and signal integrity over its operating life, and the PBT housing is UL94V-0 rated for flame retardancy.

Applications

Internal Data Interconnects
Connecting PCBs to internal peripherals or display modules using standard 1.27mm pitch ribbon cable.
Industrial Control Logic
Used in PLC and industrial controller backplanes where multi-signal cable harnesses require secure, vibration-resistant termination.
Prototyping and Development
Standard 2.54mm row spacing makes it compatible with 0.1-inch headers commonly used in breadboard-to-board cabling.
