TE Connectivity 4-Way IDC Connector for Cable, 1 Row

MTA-156 IDC closed end connector receptacle assemblies preloaded with IDC contacts on a 3.96mm centerline that accept stranded discrete wire sizes from 18 to 26 AWG. These MTA-156 IDC closed end connectors are end to end stackable, have white nylon 6/6 UL94V-2 housings with moulded ribs to prevent reverse mating and are available with locking ramps and polarization tabs. The IDC socket contacts of these MTA-156 IDC closed end receptacle connectors are matte tin plated with the exception of stock number 863-8369 which has 0.00038μm gold plated contacts.

Closed end type

MTA-156 (Mass Termination Assembly) 3.96 mm pitch connector system for labour and cost saving mass termination of wires in wire-to-board and wire-to-wire applications. These MTA-156 connectors are based on IDC (insulation displacement contact) technology allowing one-step assembly and eliminating the need for wire stripping saving both time and cost. Using production hand tooling these MTA-156 IDC connectors can be quickly assembled to 26 AWG to 18 AWG discrete wire or ribbon cable. The MTA-156 connector system consists of female IDC connectors and PCB headers. The housings of the IDC connectors are colour coded according to wire size
