RS PRO 16-Way Female IDC Connector, 2 Row, Shrouded, 2.54mm Pitch, 1A, 500V, 471-200

The RS PRO 471-200 is a robust industry-standard 16-way female IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for cable mounting in PCB, automation, and electronic applications. Featuring two rows of eight contacts each, this connector uses a 2.54mm pitch to support standard ribbon cable installations, making it suitable for daisy chaining, backplane interfaces, and a wide variety of signal transmission tasks.

This model employs shrouded housing with long ejection latches on both sides, ensuring a reliable and vibration-resistant connection and facilitating rapid disconnection when required. The fully shrouded construction not only shields the contacts but also provides enhanced strain relief, crucial for long-term installations in industrial and commercial environments.

The contacts are gold-plated, ensuring low resistance connections and superior longevity in signal integrity, even under extended use or harsh environmental conditions. The glass filled polyester (fibreglass reinforced polyethylene terephthalate) body offers excellent mechanical strength, while the connector supports IDC termination. This allows for quick, tool-less assembly, significantly improving productivity and reducing the risk of error during installation.

Rated for 1A current and up to 500V, the RS PRO 471-200 delivers reliable performance for powered and signal-carrying lines in control panels, instrumentation, prototyping boards, and consumer electronics. Its wide operating temperature range of minus 45 to plus 105 degrees Celsius accommodates both low and high temperature operating settings, including manufacturing floors, field equipment, and data storage devices.

This connector is widely used in prototyping, industrial automation, medical equipment, data storage interfaces, and consumer electronics. Its UL94V rated housing complies with key safety standards, while the open design of the IDC socket enables versatile configurations and reliable rapid cable insertion. The female gender ensures compatibility with standard IDC headers for uncomplicated cable-to-board connections.

Choose the RS PRO 471-200 for critical interconnect needs where reliability, ease of installation, and signal integrity are paramount.
