Overview

The 4620-6001 is a 20-position shrouded plug connector from 3M's 4600 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and gold-plated male pins for reliable electrical connections in free-hanging or in-line configurations. This connector is compatible with 26-28 AWG stranded or solid discrete wire and ribbon cables.

Why Choose This Part

The IDC termination allows for rapid mass termination without the need for stripping individual wires, significantly reducing assembly time. Its shrouded design provides physical protection for the male pins and ensures proper alignment during mating. The 30 micro-inch gold plating ensures high durability and corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity.
