This TE Connectivity (TE) catalog helps you identify products that satisfy your connector needs for printed circuit board headers, mass termination connectors preloaded with contacts, crimp-snap contacts and housings, and card edge connectors with preloaded contacts.
The TE Connectivity’s MTA 100 and 156 connectors permit mass termination of wires for low applied costs. Available as a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire system, based on insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology which requires no stripping of wires, the connectors are color-coded to indicate wire gauge. MTA 100 connectors, on a 0.100” [2.54mm] centerline, are available in up to 28 positions and can terminate 28–22 AWG wire. MTA 156 connectors, on a 0.156” [0.396mm] centerline, are available in up to 24 positions and can terminate 26-18 AWG wire. Both closed end and feed through connectors are offered. MTA 100 connectors can operate at voltages up to 250 V at 5A, while the MTA 156 connectors can operate up to 600 V at 7 A. Both types are available with tin- or gold-plated contacts and operate at temperatures from –55°C to 105°C. Contacts are lubricated for fretting corrosion protection. Both MTA 100 and 156 connectors are UL recognized.
