    Hi all,

    sorry for the off topic post.

    I can't find wire connectors that one pushed the wire into and as the
    wire is pushed, it strips some of the insulation and also makes a
    connection.

    the phone company uses something like this, but I'm looing for
    something I can put on a PC board.

    Is there a proper name for these ? my searches ma be failing because
    I don't know what to call them.

    Dave

    We use two varieties: AMP MTA series and Panduit MASCON series. These are
    both the style where one terminates the wires into the connector, then the
    connector pushes onto the male pins soldered in the PCB.

    I have seen Telco type 66 pins soldered into a PCB but I have no idea of
    manufacturer or availability.

    Hello from Gregg C Levine
    Right.
    Ribbon connectors consider themselves to be IDC connectors. But what
    Dave needs are the type used by the TELCO trade, (or something like
    it.). Try searching through the AMP division of Tyco electronics, or
    the Leviton Voice & Data sites. And of course the good people at
    Phoenix Contact.

    Right,

    The things I am looking for would be solder mount on the PC board.
    Leviton has something that looks possible, but does not offer specs.

    I'm thinking there is something in the alarm industry where the most
    secure thing is the source for parts and details of the units.

    But, if you have used a network connector, the Cat-5 or whatever
    cable is connected in such a manner.

    I've used the AMP MTA series connectors. They come in both
    0.100 and 0.156 spacing. See Mouser catalog #617
    (Feb-Apr04), pages 715-720. There are tools for wire
    insertion on page 717. I only do a few at a time so I got
    the plastic T handle version.
