Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pin count options are available for these DC2 2.54mm IDC socket connectors?

A: These connectors are available in 10P, 14P, 16P, 20P, 26P, 30P, and 40P configurations, so you can choose the exact pin count needed for your flat ribbon cable or PCB project.

Q: What is the difference between the straight and right-angle (hook horn) versions?

A: The straight version mounts perpendicular to the PCB surface, while the right-angle (hook horn) version routes the cable parallel to the board — ideal when space is limited or when cable routing needs to avoid nearby components.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with standard ribbon cables?

A: Yes. With a 2.54mm (0.1") pitch, these DC2 IDC socket connectors are fully compatible with standard flat ribbon cables (FRC) commonly used in electronics prototyping, computing, and industrial control wiring.
