Rectangular, Multiple-Position Rack/Panel Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC)

QR/P18 Series

sOverview

The QR/P18 Series of miniature rack/panel connectors is

designed for the complete segmentation of the structure of the

external holder/terminal units of the well-received QR/P Series

of plug-in rectangular rack/panel connectors; furthermore, the

subsequent insertion of the harnessed terminal unit affords a

more efficient harness mounting task. These connectors are

configured with 12, 18, or 24 (insulation displacement

connection) positions in the signal portion, and 4 (crimp)

positions in the power supply portion.

sFeatures

1. Completely segmented structure of the external

holder/terminal unit

In order to improve the harness mounting task, the connectors are

designed for the complete segmentation of the external holder and the

signal/power supply unit, and the method of subsequently inserting

harnessed products aims to improve the workability of the power

supply/signal section harness as well as the mounting of the set.

2. Signal unit

The signal unit uses the highly reliable insulation displacement

connection method. (The wire is AWG #26 and the insulation outside

diameter is 0.88 mm.)

The insulation displacement task can now be used by fitting a special

applicator to a commercially available automatic insulation

displacement machine, or a manual press can also be selected.

3. Power supply portion

The power supply terminals permit the use of a crimp harness

using wire of AWG #16 to 18 (and insulation outside diameter

of 2.1 to 2.2 mm), and can accommodate a maximum of 12 A.

4. Sequenced structure

Connectors possess two sequenced contacts in the signal

male unit and one sequenced contact in the power supply

female unit making them perfect in terms of safety too.

5. Panel installation

Installation to a panel uses a single-action method on the

anchored side and a floating screw structure on the floating side

which permits smooth insertion and disconnection without forcing.

6. RoHS compliant

All components and materials comply with the requirements of the

EU Directive 2002/95/EC.

*A portion of this series is suitably constructed for high-speed differential

transfer, and using a suitable cable, transfer of 2.5Gbps per pair is possible.
