IDC Pitch Selection
Custom IDC Cable Assemblies for 1.27mm, 2.0mm, and 2.54mm Pitch Options
For IDC projects where pitch choice, connector fit, cable format, and pin mapping need to be reviewed together
EDPcable supports custom IDC cable assemblies where the RFQ is still choosing between 1.27mm, 2.0mm, 2.54mm, and nearby IDC pitch formats. Pitch is only the entry point. Connector family, cable format, pin count, line order, route path, fixing method, and maintenance space should be checked together before the sample or quote boundary is treated as fixed.

IDC Pitch Options Product Overview
Best fit for IDC projects where pitch selection is still part of engineering and sourcing judgement. The review connects 1.27mm, 2.0mm, or 2.54mm choice to connector fit, cable format, pin mapping, route space, and release evidence.
| NO | Item | Typical Range or Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Common Pitch Options | 1.27mm, 2.0mm, 2.54mm, and nearby IDC formats subject to connector availability |
| 02 | Typical Cable Formats | Ribbon cable, discrete IDC harnesses, short board links, cabinet or module routes |
| 03 | Key Inputs | Pitch target, connector reference, pin count, pin mapping, cable format, route path |
| 04 | Engineering Focus | Connector fit, cable exit direction, line order, strain relief, installed clearance |
| 05 | Release Basis | Pitch and connector confirmation, mapping logic, route notes, and revision-linked records |
Engineering Inputs
Use these items as first-round review inputs so the discussion does not rely on the page label alone.
Send connector references or note whether 1.27mm, 2.0mm, or 2.54mm is currently preferred.
Include pin count, pin mapping, cable format, route length, and cable exit direction.
Add installation limits, maintenance space, fixing method, and any strain-relief needs.
State whether the project is new development, replacement, validation, or repeat order.
List sample quantity, batch quantity, timing target, and active revision boundaries.
Customer Pain Points
IDC pitch-option projects often sound straightforward once the product or route category is known. In real RFQ and sample work, delays usually appear in route fit, structure judgement, and revision control rather than in the label alone.
| NO | Customer Pain Point | Typical Risk | What Needs Early Confirmation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Product design issues | The connector path, structure, or local fit still does not truly match the IDC pitch-option build, so the sample becomes only a temporary reference | Connector references, route path, structure boundaries, and installation space |
| 02 | Product quality issues | Execution, local fit, or batch consistency drifts across repeated IDC pitch-option builds | Structure definition, quality focus, and revision linkage |
| 03 | Lead-time issues | Missing inputs force repeated sample loops and slow quotation, release, and batch timing | Connector data, route notes, project stage, quantity, and timing |
| 04 | After-sales issues | It becomes difficult to tell whether the issue came from structure, revision, or installed conditions | Drawing files, sample approval records, batch labels, and shipment records |
| 05 | Complaint-handling issues | Revision boundaries are unclear, so issue tracing stays slow | Revision confirmation, batch correspondence, and inspection records |
| 06 | Pricing issues | A broad request turns into repeated pricing changes once real fit constraints surface | Structure complexity, material expectations, quantity, and delivery boundaries |
Why Choose Us
A IDC pitch-option project benefits more from a factory that can judge route fit, structure, and revision scope together than from one that only reacts to the category name. Our strength in this type of work usually shows up in the ten areas below.
Product Applications
This route is not only a category label. In practice, IDC pitch-option work usually appears in device programs where fit, route logic, and revision scope all matter. The scenes below are the most common application contexts.
| NO | Application Scene | Scene Focus | Typical Concerns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Compact module links | smaller pitch selection with limited local space | connector availability, handling tolerance, and route exit |
| 02 | Industrial control wiring | maintainable IDC routes inside cabinets or equipment | pitch readability, cable bend, and service access |
| 03 | Board-to-board extensions | short IDC paths with fixed mating orientation | pin count, connector direction, and line-order clarity |
| 04 | Ribbon cable replacements | matching old IDC pitch and pin count to current parts | near-match connector risk and old sample ambiguity |
| 05 | Multi-version equipment | one pitch decision across several device revisions | usable scope, mapping differences, and file control |

Factory Strength and Project Support
Beyond the route itself, IDC pitch-option projects still need a clear view of manufacturing cooperation, sample timing, and later batch support. The points below are the main factory-side references for early RFQ discussion.

Custom manufacturing cooperation
EDPcable works directly on custom cable and cable-assembly projects, supporting samples, small-batch validation, and later production cooperation.
Low-MOQ and flexible sample starts
Lower starting quantities can be supported depending on connector configuration, material availability, and project complexity, so programs can validate before committing to larger batches.
Sample and production timing
Samples are typically 1-2 weeks after scope confirmation. Production is typically 3-4 weeks after sample and order confirmation.
Response and project support
Technical and after-sales inquiries usually receive a first response within one business day, with daily coordination handled by the project team.
Engineering Capability
Engineering value in a IDC pitch-option page comes from tying route fit and structure judgement together before release. Cross-family engineering review, drawing control, and documentation practice are covered in the Related Capability Pages below.

Order Process
Projects move more smoothly when inquiry, drawing release, sampling, and the batch-order decision all follow one visible path. The process below is the V2 order flow used for this page.
Send the inquiry and project inputs
Start with connector references, route context, installation conditions, project stage, and quantity expectations so sourcing and engineering begin from the same frame for the IDC pitch-option review.
Receive the quotation
Quotation is aligned to the actual structure, route path, materials, and delivery rhythm rather than only a broad product label.
Confirm the order
Once the pricing boundary, sample quantity, and current scope are clear, the program can move into formal ordering.
Receive the drawing set
The current version of the structure, interface, key dimensions, and process-critical notes is issued as the working basis for samples.
Confirm the drawing
Both sides confirm route logic, local fit, key structure boundaries, and revision scope before the sample build starts.
Sample production
Samples are built against the confirmed basis so structure fit, route behaviour, and installation validity can be validated.
Sample shipment
Samples are shipped with the agreed packaging, labels, and supporting documents, together with logistics information.
Customer sample approval
The approved sample confirms whether the structure is close enough to the released version under real installation and test conditions.
Batch-order confirmation
Once the sample, revision scope, and order rhythm are all aligned, the program moves into controlled batch ordering and production.
Files and Batch Support
IDC pitch-option work has its own document layer around route and fitting boundaries. Cross-family file control, batch traceability, and certification practice are summarised in the Related Capability Pages.
IDC pitch-option route and fitting-boundary records
Capture the route path, local fit, and installation-space limits that are specific to the IDC pitch-option build so later structural differences can be traced back to the right layer of change.
