The AWP-20-8240-T is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) socket designed for ribbon cable applications with a 2.54mm pitch and gold flash contact finish. It features a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulator with 30% glass fiber reinforcement rated UL94V-O, brass or phosphor bronze contacts with nickel underplate, and no central lug configuration. The connector is rated for 1 ampere continuous current, with an insulation resistance of 1000 MO minimum and dielectric withstanding voltage of 500 VAC, operating reliably across a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. This connector is commonly used in computer peripherals, data acquisition systems, and industrial control applications where reliable ribbon cable termination is required without strain relief.
