SWITCH FROM IDC TO P-IN
Reasons why manufacturers around the world are switching from IDC to P-IN:
- IDC is Industry Standard, But Outdated
- Overpriced due to excessive material use (up to 80% more cost than P-IN connectors)
- High production waste – inefficient design increases expenses
- Slowed innovation – reliance on old tech held back efficiency
- Manufacturers had no alternative—leading to locked-in supplier dependence
EXPLORE P-IN FEATURES
Cost-effective (80% cheaper than IDC)
Less material allows connectors to be made 80% cheaper than competitors.
IDC wastes excess material → O-PIN uses optimized design
No unnecessary metal → lower manufacturing costs
Excelent electrical performance
Innovative magnet wire connectors replacing IDC technology
Wide industry compatibility
Patented innovation – not just a cheaper clone
Works in all the same applications (motors, coils, transformers)
P-IN TECHNOLOGY
01
The P-in compliant feature defines the simplest technology for IDC connector for magnet wire. It breaks the enamel layer when being inserted vertically.
02
Magnet wire must be located in a simple
dedicated groove in the plastic housing,
similar to the classic approach.

03
Electrical connection stability is reached
by deformable spring-load (Press-fit like)
geometry. “Pushing” against the plastic
housing, it creates a tight contact
between the pin and the conductive core
of the magnet wire.

New P-in Connector Samples Under the Microscope
At SM Contact, we attribute our reputation to an unwavering focus on quality, recognizing that meticulous quality control is the cornerstone of safe and efficient final product operation. This philosophy is vividly illustrated in the comprehensive study of our new P-in connector samples under the microscope. By rigorously testing selected samples against a stringent set of required parameters, we ensure the manufacturer can be confident that end customers receive products entirely free of defects, thereby significantly reducing the risk of costly recalls. The assessment covers all vital characteristics mandated by applicable standards, including pull force, crimp height, and a detailed cross-section analysis to verify tight closure, perfect connection symmetry, appropriate compression, correct component positioning, and the absence of any burrs. To achieve unparalleled accuracy and objectivity, these studies are augmented by specialized software. This technology allows for precise digital measurements calibrated to international quality standards—such as VW, USCAR, TYCO, PSA, Renault, and TDK—or specific individual customer requirements. Furthermore, the software enables the automatic detection of even the most minor deviations, providing a data-driven guarantee of consistent excellence and reinforcing our commitment to delivering superior, reliable connectivity solutions.
