TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Industrial 18-Way IDC Male Connector with 2 Row, 230V AC, 1.5A, Tin over Nickel 1-215083-8

TE Connectivity 1-215083-8 Micro-MaTch Industrial IDC Connector is an 18-way male connector for ribbon cable with a dual-row 2-row configuration and 1.27 mm pitch, rated for 230V AC and 1.5A current. This connector is engineered for wire-to-board interconnections requiring compact size and reliable electrical performance.

Its contacts feature tin over nickel plating for excellent corrosion resistance and a phosphor bronze base material to ensure high conductivity. The glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic housing provides mechanical strength and resistance to environmental stress.

The connector utilizes an insulation displacement contact (IDC) termination type that enables fast and reliable assembly without soldering. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C make it suitable for industrial, automation, and electronic applications where temperature variability is expected.

A key feature is its fretting corrosion resistant contact spring system that maintains gas-tight connections even under vibration and thermal expansion. The pre-assembled cover accurately positions the ribbon cable to ensure precise insulation displacement and secure locking via plastic latches at each end.

This IDC connector includes polarization features to prevent mismating during installation.

Applications include production and material handling equipment, control units, robotics and motors, automotive dashboard systems, audio devices, base stations, and navigation systems. The connector improves production efficiency by offering durable, reliable cable connections in demanding electronic assemblies.

This connector supports a current rating of 1.5A and voltage rating of 230V AC. It uses micro-MaTch industrial series with a tin over nickel contact plating for corrosion resistance. The housing is made of glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic providing durability and stability.

The connector operates between -40°C to 105°C, suitable for harsh environments. Its insulation displacement connection method ensures reliable performance in wire-to-board applications. Features a compact, space-saving design with polarization to prevent mismating.

The contacts are made of phosphor bronze offering excellent electrical conductivity. The straight orientation and cable mount type facilitate easy integration. Pre-assembled cover aids accurate cable positioning during assembly.

Ideal for use in robotics, automation, control units, audio equipment, and communication systems. Explore more in the IDC Connector category at EnvMart to find compatible connectors and accessories from TE Connectivity and other trusted manufacturers.
