TE Connectivity MTA-100 Series Straight Through Hole Pin Header, 18 Contacts, 2.54 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Unshrouded 1-640456-8

TE Connectivity 1-640456-8 MTA-100 Series Straight Through Hole Pin Header is a versatile PCB header connector designed for mass termination of wires using insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology. Featuring 18 male contacts in a single row with 2.54 mm pitch spacing, this unshrouded connector facilitates robust wire-to-board connections in demanding industrial environments.

The housing is made from glass filled polyester to provide mechanical strength and electrical insulation. Copper alloy contacts plated with tin ensure corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity for currents up to 5 amperes at voltages up to 250 volts.

This connector employs a friction lock mechanism, securing mating connections and allowing end-to-end stackability for flexible PCB design and assembly.

Designed for through-hole mounting with straight orientation, the header's tail pins measure 3.56 mm length, enabling reliable solder termination. It performs effectively across a wide temperature range from minus 65 degrees Celsius to plus 105 degrees Celsius.

Commonly utilized in automotive body and chassis systems, driver information and safety circuits, it is also ideal for consumer electronics such as desktop PCs, notebooks, servers, and storage workstations.

The MTA-100 system simplifies wiring and assembly by allowing cost-saving mass termination with compatible female IDC connectors color-coded by wire size. The MTA-100 series allows efficient mass termination of wires when mated with IDC connectors.

Constructed with glass filled polyester housing for durability. Supports up to 5A current and 250V voltage ratings. Features a friction lock mechanism to ensure secure mating connections. Male copper alloy contacts plated with tin offer reliable electrical performance.

Termination type is solder with tail pin length of 3.56 mm. Operates reliably within temperature range from -65°C to 105°C. Designed for through-hole mount with straight orientation in wire-to-board applications. End-to-end stackable design simplifies PCB layouts and assembly.
