DB15 IDC connectors

The Mendel 90 uses a type of 15 pin D connector that you slip a ribbon cable into and squeeze. Sharp things connect it and everything is good. Amazingly good, you should see the mess I got myself in trying to solder up a normal one pin by pin...

I can't find both male and female versions on (in this case RS Components).

Does anyone know what they are actually called and point out where to get them? I don't know what the squeeze mechanism is called :/

Thank you.

It's called an Insulation Displacement Connector, Ian. They should probably shorten it to... I don't know... "IDC" maybe? ;-)

Yes, I've noticed a cunning theme where by the acronyms actually stand for something. That said, my brief hunt on RS was a disaster. Some of them seemed to have IDC in the title, but the picture suggested, well not a lot of value actually.

Thank you for finding them though )
