The insulation displacement connection (also known as IDC) is a particularly time-saving connection technology. With this connection method, the cutting metal cuts through the insulation and establishes a reliable connection to the conductor.
Since insulation displacement technology eliminates the need to strip the insulation and apply splice protection to the conductors, you save considerable time compared to conventional connection technologies. Conductor connection takes only a few seconds.
Reliable contacting with the IDC connection is achieved by inserting the conductor into the specially shaped cutting metal. Rigid and flexible conductors can be rewired up to 100 times. The wire end must be cut off prior to reconnecting.
QUICKON fast connection technology features a space-saving rotary connection with patented insulation displacement contact. Simply insert the untreated conductor into the clamping chamber and swivel the orange actuating element. This swivel cuts the cable and contacts the conductor.
It is used to connect conductors quickly and without any pretreatment. Insulation displacement connection is suitable for cables with PVC and PE insulation. Other types of insulation are available on request.
Save time with the insulation displacement connection, because the conductor does not need to be prepared for connection.
Our portfolio includes PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors with an actuating element (in a contrasting color) up to 1.5 mm² connection cross-section and PCB terminal blocks with finger-operable connection for data lines up to 0.34 mm².
M12 connectors with QUICKON insulation displacement connection provide the fastest connection for connectors designed for assembly. The connectors are equipped with an insulation displacement contact. With this connection method, untreated rigid or flexible conductors including insulation are positioned in the connector. When the compression nut on the connector is tightened, the contact displaces the conductor insulation and makes a spring-forced, vibration-resistant, and gas-tight contact with the conductor.
Industrial power distribution does not have to be time-consuming or complicated. The QPD installation system for capacities up to 690 V/40 A is proof of this. With the proven QUICKON IDC displacement connection, cables up to 5 x 6.0 mm² can be connected quickly and easily, without stripping or special tools.
The connection is designed for applications in which round and AS-Interface cables are to be connected efficiently on site. The connection can be disconnected at any time, and the components can be reused. Fast-connection technology automatically provides contact and strain relief when tightened. The quick and easy handling of the QUICKON fast connection means that connection time can be reduced by up to 80%.
RJ45 connectors with insulation displacement connection (IDC) technology can be assembled easily and safely in the field without special tools. The industrial-grade connectors are suitable for Ethernet and PROFINET applications. They are available for cable sizes from 26 to 23 AWG and for data rates up to 10 Gbps.
Contact inserts with insulation displacement connection for heavy connectors reduce connection time by up to 60%. The QUICKON connection is equipped with an IDC insulation displacement contact. With this connection method, an unprepared wire with insulation is positioned in front of the gap of the insulation displacement contact and then pushed into the blade gap by means of insulation displacement. In so doing, the wire insulation is severed and gas-tight contact is established between the wire and the contact. The connection force is independent of the user and completely reliable, provided the permissible conductor cross sections and connection conditions are observed.
