TE Connectivity offers a broad range of ribbon cable to board, or AMP-Latch connector products. IDC technology originated from telecom punch down block technology, due to the high labor savings of being able to terminate 10 to 64 conductors in one simple operation, with almost no wire stripping or preparation. TE offers ribbon cable connectors that terminate to three main ribbon cable centerlines, the AMP-Latch products focus on the 1.27 millimeter cable pitch.
