IDC, which stands for Insulation Displacement Contact, is a wire-to-board connector that creates secure, robust connection solutions. Each contact point of these connectors is equipped with an insulation piercing feature. The contacts have sharp blades which slice through the insulation surrounding a cable and allow for a direct exposure of the wire to the contact. IDC connectors are ideal since wire stripping is no longer needed. Overall, these connectors create for a faster and easier mating process.
