Unique-Bargains 16 Pin 16 Way F/F IDC Rainbow Ribbon Cable 50cm 2pcs

SKU CH-J825-8WZCA

Two 50 cm rainbow ribbon cables with 16-pin female IDC connectors on 2.54 mm pitch

  • 16-pin female-to-female IDC connector simplifies board-to-board wiring
  • 54 mm pitch matches standard header spacing for direct plug-in
  • 50 cm rainbow ribbon separates easily for clean, custom terminations
  • Operating range -55 °C to +105 °C suits harsh environments
  • Resists acid, alkali, flame, moisture, oil, solvents and fungus

16-pin IDC ribbon cable for circuit interconnects

This 50 cm flat ribbon cable provides 16-pin female-to-female connections at a 2.54 mm pitch. Two pieces are included for linking boards, programmers or internal headers in tight spaces. The rainbow colour coding helps trace individual conductors during assembly or repair.

Operating range and material resilience

The cable is rated from -55 °C to +105 °C, covering most bench and embedded environments. Its insulation resists acid, alkalis, flame, moisture, oil, solvents and fungus. Conductors separate easily for clean terminations without specialised tooling.

Supplied accessories and practical impact

The pack contains two 50 cm cables weighing 44 g in total, ready to use without extra connectors. Pre-crimped IDC ends reduce wiring time on prototypes, ISP programmers, LCD panels or camera modules. Buyers who need different pin counts, longer runs or male terminations will need a separate product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16-pin 2.54mm pitch IDC connectors without damaging the ribbon cable?

Align the keyed female IDC sockets with the 16-way rainbow ribbon cable, then press evenly across the connector body using a flat tool or bench vice until the insulation-displacement contacts seat fully; the cable separates cleanly for individual terminations if needed.

What maintenance or replacement will the ribbon cable assembly need over time?

Inspect the 44 g cable periodically for cracked insulation, corrosion on the IDC contacts, or conductor fatigue after repeated flexing; replace the entire 50 cm assembly if any conductor shows open-circuit or the ribbon tears at the connector strain point.

Which limit appears first when the cable runs continuously at high temperature?

The 105 °C upper temperature rating is reached before the -55 °C lower limit; sustained operation near 105 °C accelerates insulation ageing and can soften the IDC contact grip, so derate current or improve airflow to stay below that threshold.
