XG5
IDC Connectors for Discrete Wires
Trouble-free discrete-wire termination
with IDC Sockets that accommodate MIL
Plugs.
■ Two-slot, IDC construction and insulation barrel
offer high reliability and large-current (3 A) discrete wiring capability.
■ Adaptable to a variety of covers for space-saving
and discrete wire termination.
■ By using the simple, unique lock-lever system,
these Connectors can be locked to either the
XG8B/XG8W Unshrouded Plugs (with right-angle
terminals) or XG4C Box-type Plugs.
■ Conforms to UL standards (file no. E103202).
(Except XG5S models)
RoHS Compliant
■ Terminology
• Insulation barrel
• Insulation height
Wire
Refers to the part of a
contact that crimps the
insulating sheath of a
wire.
Refers to the height of the
insulation barrel after
crimping or IDC pressing.

• Lance
Insulation barrel
Lance 2-slot IDC pressing
Mating end
Refers to the lance-like
projections arranged on a
contact to secure it in the housing.
• U-slot
Refers to the part where the wire and the contact connect to each
other. It is called a U-slot because of its shape.
■ Construction
