Amphenol Communications Solutions Quickie 16 Way Right Angle 2.54 mm Pitch Cable IDC Connector Female 71600-016LF

Amphenol Communications Solutions 71600-016LF Quickie 16 Way Right Angle 2.54 mm Pitch Cable IDC Connector Female is a high-quality IDC receptacle connector designed for use with flat flexible cables ranging from 30 AWG to 26 AWG wire sizes. Its right angle orientation and female connector gender make it ideal for compact electronic assemblies where space and reliable cable connections are critical.

The connector features a fibreglass reinforced thermoplastic housing that provides excellent mechanical stability and resistance to harsh environments. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold over nickel plating to guarantee optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is rated for 1 ampere current and can withstand a voltage of up to 1000V AC, suitable for industrial, instrumentation, consumer electronics, communications, and medical applications.

Designed with an adjustable bridge type cover, this connector allows easy cable assembly and precise cover-to-base alignment which ensures reliable electrical termination. The long wiping action of IDC terminals enhances electrical performance, while duplex plating guarantees a sustained performance of 100 mating cycles, contributing to long-term durability.

Polarization slots and keying features incorporated into the housing prevent mismatching during assembly, thereby reducing errors and improving manufacturing efficiency. The connector is compatible with other components of the Quickie series and mates with various shrouded latched headers designed to fit different application requirements.

This IDC connector is particularly well suited for use in demanding industrial, manufacturing, communications, data processing, and medical equipment environments where compact, reliable cable connections are essential.
