622-3424ES – TYCO ELECTRONICS

The 622-3424ES, manufactured by TYCO, is a 34-position Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) header designed for mass termination of ribbon cable or discrete wires. It mates with standard 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch IDC sockets. The part corresponds directly to TYCO part number 5-1437060-9, indicating a direct cross-reference within TYCO’s internal numbering system. The header features a dual-row configuration with 17 contacts per row. Termination is achieved by simultaneously forcing the conductors into the IDC contacts, providing a gas-tight connection. The housing material is likely a glass-filled thermoplastic, chosen for its dimensional stability and resistance to soldering temperatures. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance. This header is typically used in board-to-cable or wire-to-board applications where high-density interconnections are required.
