34 Pin IDC Socket 28-34P Black Plastic Pin Terminal PC Accessories

Description

Product Overview

The 34 Pin IDC Socket model 28-34P is engineered for demanding industrial and scientific environments where reliable electrical connections are essential. Constructed with a durable black plastic housing, the socket offers excellent insulation while maintaining a compact footprint that fits seamlessly into standard 0.1 in (2.54 mm) pitch header layouts. Inside, high‑conductivity copper contacts are precision‑stamped to provide consistent low‑resistance pathways, ensuring signal integrity even under heavy load conditions. The socket meets UL certification standards, confirming its safety and performance across a wide temperature range up to 257°F (125°C). Each unit includes a built‑in strain relief feature that mitigates stress on the cable, extending the service life of both the connector and the attached wiring. Designed for easy installation, the pin‑type terminals align perfectly with flat ribbon cables, simplifying assembly and reducing the risk of misalignment.

Usage

This IDC socket is ideal for a variety of applications, from data acquisition modules and sensor arrays to custom control panels and prototype boards. Its robust construction makes it suitable for harsh factory floors, laboratory test rigs, and field‑deployed equipment where vibration and temperature fluctuations are common. Install the socket on a printed circuit board or a DIN rail panel, then insert a compatible 34‑pin flat ribbon cable. The polarizing center bump ensures correct orientation, while the strain‑relief design prevents cable pull‑out during operation. Users in the aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications sectors will appreciate the socket’s ability to maintain stable connections over long service intervals, reducing maintenance downtime.

FAQ

What type of cable is compatible with this socket?

The socket is designed for 34‑pin flat ribbon cables with a 0.1 in (2.54 mm) pitch. Any cable that matches this specification and uses a compatible male header will fit securely.

Can the socket be used in high‑temperature environments?

Yes. The socket is rated for operation up to 257°F (125°C), making it suitable for many industrial applications where elevated temperatures are encountered.

Is the socket UL certified?

Absolutely. The product meets UL standards for electrical safety and performance, providing assurance for compliance‑driven projects.

How does the strain relief feature work?

The built‑in strain relief clamps around the cable jacket, distributing mechanical stress and preventing the cable from pulling out of the connector during movement or vibration.
