Jianniu Connector | Non-Latching IDC Connector | Optimal Board-to-Board/Cable Connection
Product Definition
The Jianniu Connector belongs to the IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) family, characterized by its latch-free simplified design. It achieves stable signal/power connection between PCBs through square pins directly crimped with IDC cables. With a compact structure and significant cost advantages, it’s the go-to choice for low-to-medium speed connection scenarios.
Key Advantages
✅ Minimalist Design, Easy Installation
- Eliminates the latches of traditional horn connectors; single/double row straight plug design requires no additional locking tools, saving 50% installation time
- Compatible with 主流 pitch sizes 1.27mm/2.0mm/2.54mm, fitting 90% of standard IDC cables on the market
✅ Reliable Performance, Versatile Applications
- Terminals use phosphor bronze with gold plating (50μin nickel base + 3μin gold), contact resistance ≤20mΩ, supporting 0.5A-3A current transmission
- Flame-retardant PA66 housing (UL94V-0), operating temperature -40℃~+105℃, suitable for indoor/outdoor equipment environments
✅ Cost-Effective, Flexible Options
- 60% cheaper than horn connectors of the same specification, significant cost advantage for bulk purchases
- Offers three mounting types: SMT, DIP, and bent pin (90°/180°), adapting to high-density PCBs and 3D cabling needs

💬 FAQs
Q: How to distinguish Jianniu from Horn Connectors?
A: Jianniu has no side latches, relying on PCB soldering for fixation; Horn connectors have mechanical latches, ideal for vibration environments – choose based on usage scenarios.
Q: Can pin configurations be customized?
A: Yes, supports single/double row staggered pins and anti-misinsertion notches – contact our team with your design drawings.
