TE Connectivity 6-Way Female IDC Connector Cable, 1 Row, MTA-156 Series 3-640429-6

TE Connectivity 3-640429-6 is a high-quality 6-way female IDC connector designed for cable mounting in electronic and electrical assembly applications. Part of the MTA-156 series, this connector features a 3.96mm pitch and accommodates stranded discrete wire sizes from 18 to 26 AWG, enabling efficient wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections. Its design supports a current rating of 7 amperes and voltage rating of 600V AC, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial, manufacturing, and commercial electrical uses.

The connector housing is made of robust nylon 6/6 material rated UL94V-2 for flame retardance, and the contacts are copper plated with tin over nickel to ensure reliable conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The shrouded, female right-angle cable mount configuration includes molded ribs to prevent incorrect mating, alongside locking ramps and polarization tabs to enhance connection security and reduce assembly errors. Operating temperature range extends from minus 55 degrees Celsius to 105 degrees Celsius, supporting demanding operating environments.

The MTA-156 IDC technology implemented in this connector allows quick and cost-effective mass termination of wires without the need for wire stripping, saving labor and assembly time. This closed-end connector assembly is stackable end-to-end, optimizing wiring density within confined spaces. Typical applications include electronic component assembly, power connectors, control panels, instrumentation, and industrial automation systems.

Supports 6 contacts configured in a single row for streamlined connectivity. Wire size range from 18 to 26 AWG suited for diverse wiring requirements. Rated for 7A current and 600V AC voltage for reliable electrical performance.

Copper contacts plated with tin over nickel enable durability and corrosion resistance. Shrouded female right angle cable mount with nylon housing prevents reverse mating. Operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C fits various industrial conditions.

One-step IDC termination reduces assembly time without wire stripping. Molded ribs, locking ramps, and polarization tabs ensure secure, error-free connections.

This TE Connectivity IDC connector is ideal for industrial, laboratory, manufacturing, and electrical power distribution applications requiring reliable, cost-effective, and space-saving cable connections.
