Michael,
I can't speak for the industry practice, but I think the easiest path to verify cable placement is to inspect and cross-section a few cables. If you can make a depth measurement, use cross-section to verify that the measurement is meaningful. Good luck.

Subject: RE: IDC Connector Inspection
Andy,
I do have a top view and I am trying to verify the process of a subcontractor's work. Since the wire insulation is higher than the "V" channel of the contact and I do not have a wire end view, it is tough to tell visually where the conductor is in the connection area of the slot. What I am looking for is what in process checks are typically done to verify IDC connectors to IPC-620 6.6.2? My initial thinking was some type of depth measurement and math would tell you where the conductor sits in the connection area? What I'm trying to find out is what is the industry practice in insuring correct discrete wire terminations in an IDC connector? Thank you.
Best Regards,

Are you trying to verify a specific cable or a process? Do you at least have a top view where the blades cut through the insulation? I would recommend both visual inspection and cross-section. With visual inspection, verify the wires are properly positioned, IDC blades are protruding through the insulation (in a uniform manner) and the connector clips are fully engaged. If you need to verify a particular cable non-destructively, try x-ray.

Per IPC-620 6.2.2 Discrete Wire Termination-Position of Wire for IDC connectors, the conductor of the wire is to be completely in the connection slot of the connector. If you do NOT have an end view of the connection to verify the location of the conductor, how is the location of the conductor within the connector connection area verified? Perform some type of depth measurement from the top? Thank you in advance for your help.
