Summary

[edit | edit source]

A hand IDC (insulation-displacement connector) press with lengths of light-blue flat ribbon cable, the parts of a two-row IDC socket (body, cover and strain-relief clip), and a finished socket on a cable. Photographed by Adafruit for a Learning System guide, where it accompanies the instruction to use an IDC crimper or a vice, not pliers.
