SCONDAR SCT0800HI IDC Housing — World‘s First 0.8mm Pitch Wire-to-Board Insulation Displacement Connector

Product Overview

The SCONDAR SCT0800HI IDC Housing is a groundbreaking interconnect solution that brings unprecedented miniaturization to wire-to-board applications. As the world’s first 0.8 mm pitch insulation displacement connector, the SCT0800HI revolutionizes space-constrained electronic design by replacing conventional crimp-style terminals with a streamlined IDC architecture that eliminates the need for terminal crimping entirely.

Engineered to serve as a functional equivalent to the JST SUR xxSUR-32S series connectors, the SCT0800HI series offers a mechanically and electrically compatible alternative without compromising performance or reliability.This family of connectors is specifically designed for densely packed electronic devices where every millimeter of board real estate must be optimized, including portable electronics, automotive modules, medical devices, LED lighting systems, and industrial control equipment.

With two distinct mounting configurations—side entry and top entry—the SCT0800HI delivers exceptional flexibility for diverse PCB layout requirements. The side entry type achieves a remarkably low profile of just 1.75 mm in height и 3.9 mm in depth after mounting, while the top entry type features a depth of only 2.2 mm with a height of 3.9 mm.When compared to conventional 1.0 mm pitch SSR connectors, the side entry version reduces PCB footprint by an impressive 34%, enabling more compact and densely integrated electronic assemblies.

Key Features & Specifications

Compact Design with Dual Mounting Options

• Ultra-fine 0.8 mm pitch for high-density wire-to-board connections

• Top entry type – Depth: 2.2 mm / Height: 3.9 mm

• Side entry type – Depth: 3.9 mm / Height: 1.75 mm

• Space reduction: 34% less board space occupied compared to 1.0 mm pitch SSR connectors

Electrical Performance

IDC Architecture Advantages

The SCT0800HI eliminates the need for separate crimp terminals, significantly simplifying wire termination and reducing assembly costs. The twin U-slot insulation displacement section ensures a gas-tight, reliable connection without stripping wire insulation.The three-point grip construction distributes strain evenly across the terminated wire, providing robust strain relief and protecting the IDC connection from vibration-induced damage.

A shrouded header design incorporates friction locking features to prevent accidental unmating, while the absence of holes in the header shroud makes the connector fully compatible with vacuum pick-and-place gripping equipment used in automated assembly lines.

Intellectual Property Note: SCONDAR SCT0800HI series connectors are independently designed and manufactured as functionally equivalent alternatives to industry-standard interface types. All mechanical and electrical specifications have been developed without utilizing or infringing upon any third-party intellectual property rights. Potential users are solely responsible for evaluating the compatibility and performance of this product in their specific applications. This document is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an express or implied license or recommendation to use this product with any specific mating components.

Design-in Recommendations

• Current Derating: For applications near the upper temperature limit (+85°C), consider derating current by 10-15% to ensure long-term reliability.

• Wire Preparation: For optimal IDC termination results, ensure consistent insulation stripping length and use wires with stable insulation OD specifications.

• PCB Layout: The SCT0800HI is designed for mechanical compatibility with industry-standard mating headers. Verify terminal plating compatibility (gold-to-gold recommended for high-reliability signal applications) before design finalization.

• Automated Assembly: The shroud design with no vacuum-inhibiting features enables high-speed pick-and-place assembly with standard SMT equipment.
