Wire-to-board and wire-to-wire system based on IDC technology

TE Connectivity's Mass Termination Assembly (MTA) connector system is now available from Mouser stock. The wire-to-board and wire-to-wire system is based on insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology. MTA 100 connectors have contacts in a single row on 2.54mm centres, while MTA 156 connector contacts are in a single row on 3.96mm centres. The design features wire feed-through capability for daisy-chain applications. The IDCs are used to terminate a wide range of conductor sizes. Ribbon cable can also be terminated when the appropriate receptacle assembly and strain relief cover are used. Header assemblies for board mount applications include right-angle and vertical mount products available in through-hole and surface-mount configurations.
