TE 8‑215079‑8 belongs to TE Connectivity Micro‑MaTch series, red plastic housing female‑on‑board receptacle, 1.27 mm pitch, 18‑pin two‑row structure, through‑hole PCB soldering installation.
Micro‑MaTch adopts exclusive positioning spring contact structure, which absorbs tiny displacement caused by equipment vibration and thermal expansion, effectively avoids fretting‑corrosion failure of tin‑plated contacts and ensures gas‑tight stable connection.We can provide finished harnesses: assemble IDC crimp ribbon cable or discrete wires, customize cable length, pin‑out definition and strain‑relief processing. Mainly applied for industrial measuring instruments, smart household appliances, set‑top boxes, audio equipment and control module internal interconnection.

Advantages
Additional positioning spring absorbs micro‑movement caused by vibration & temperature change, maintains gas‑tight contact, greatly reduces tin‑contact fretting‑corrosion risk, improves long‑term reliability
Compact 1.27 mm Fine‑Pitch Layout
Small footprint saves PCB space, supports high‑density multi‑signal concentrated interconnection inside compact equipment.
Red Housing for Easy Identification
Distinctive red plastic housing, convenient for production assembly visual identification, prevents mis‑insertion.
Dual‑Use for Board‑to‑Board & IDC Ribbon‑Cable Harness
Can directly mate with board‑mount male header for board‑to‑board; or cooperate with IDC male‑on‑wire to process ribbon‑cable wire‑to‑board harness.
Through‑Hole Kinked‑Solder‑Tail Retention
Kinked solder tails enhance PCB mechanical retention, resist pulling force and vibration in industrial environment.

FAQ
Q1: What is TE 8‑215079‑8?
A: It is Micro‑MaTch series 18‑pin two‑row red female‑on‑board receptacle, 1.27 mm pitch through‑hole soldering, famous for anti‑fretting‑corrosion contact structure, supports board‑to‑board and IDC ribbon‑cable harness connection。
Q2: Can it be used for IDC flat ribbon cable?
A: It needs to match the supporting Micro‑MaTch male‑on‑wire IDC connector to terminate flat ribbon cable; 8‑215079‑8 itself is the board‑mount female socket.
Q3: What is per‑pin rated current?
A: 1 A per contact, mainly used for signal and small‑power circuits, not for high‑current power loops.
Q4: What is the advantage of Micro‑MaTch compared with ordinary fine‑pitch connectors?
A: The built‑in positioning‑spring structure effectively inhibits fretting‑corrosion, greatly improves connection reliability under vibration and temperature‑cycling conditions。
Q5: Is this connector waterproof?
A: Standard version is non‑waterproof, for internal device application only, not suitable for exposed wet environment.
