What is idc connection?

IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector, which is a type of electrical connector used for connecting wires to a printed circuit board (PCB) or to another wire. IDC connection is a method of connecting wires or cables to a PCB or other wire by pressing them onto the metal contacts inside a connector block, which displaces and pierces the insulation to make a secure electrical connection. IDC connections are commonly used in the telecommunications industry for connecting voice and data transmission cables to network equipment such as modems, routers, and switches. They are also used in automotive applications, medical devices, and consumer electronics. IDC connections offer many benefits, including ease of installation, high reliability, low cost, and high resistance to vibration and shock.
