TE Connectivity 6-Way 2.54mm Pitch Shrouded IDC Female Cable Connector 5A 250V AC MTA-100 Series 3-640442-6

TE Connectivity 3-640442-6 is a 6-way, 1-row, shrouded female IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) connector designed for cable applications with a 2.54mm pitch. This MTA-100 series connector is engineered for efficient mass wire termination, enabling one-step assembly that eliminates the need for wire stripping, thereby reducing labor and costs.

The connector is rated for a maximum current of 5A and can handle voltages up to 250V AC, operating effectively within a wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C. Its construction includes a durable nylon housing paired with copper contacts plated with tin over nickel, ensuring reliable electrical connectivity and resistance to corrosion. The friction lock mechanism combined with moulded ribs prevents reverse mating and guarantees a secure connection. Polarizing tabs are available for extra alignment support in varying configurations.

These IDC Connectors are widely utilized in automotive body and chassis systems, driver information systems, and safety applications. They also find applications in computer and consumer electronics including desktop PCs, notebooks, servers, storage devices, and workstations. The end-to-end stackable design allows modular connection flexibility, simplifying installation in complex setups.

TE Connectivity's MTA-100 2.54mm Interconnect System offers labor-saving and reliable wire-to-wire and wire-to-board interconnections. Designed to assemble quickly with production hand tooling, it supports discrete wires sizes from 28 AWG to 22 AWG as well as notched ribbon cable. The housings are color-coded to correspond with wire size for easy identification.

The connector supports one-step assembly with IDC contacts for efficient mass termination. End-to-end stackable design facilitates modular connections. The friction lock mechanism ensures secure mating engagement. Housing with moulded ribs prevents incorrect mating orientations.
