TE Connectivity 18-Way Shrouded Female IDC Cable Connector 2.54mm Pitch 5A 250V AC Right Angle MTA-100 4-640441-8

TE Connectivity 4-640441-8 is a high-quality 18-Way Shrouded Female IDC Connector designed for cable applications with a 2.54mm pitch and current rating of 5 Amperes at 250V AC. This MTA-100 series connector provides efficient mass wire termination using insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology, enabling quick assembly without the need for wire stripping.

This connector has 18 female contacts in a single row, with contacts plated in tin over nickel to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is manufactured from rugged nylon material, offering excellent mechanical protection and insulating properties. It operates reliably over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.

The MTA-100 connectors are end-to-end stackable, incorporating a friction lock mechanism that ensures a secure, vibration-resistant mating connection. Moulded ribs prevent reverse mating, and optional polarizing tabs enhance connector alignment and reduce erroneous connections.

Constructed with copper contacts, these connectors support wire gauges ranging from 28 AWG to 22 AWG, ideal for automotive body and chassis systems, driver information systems, safety and security modules, as well as computing devices such as desktop PCs, servers, notebooks, and storage units.

This female IDC connector is right-angle mounted on cable assemblies, optimizing space in PCB layouts and facilitating compact system designs. It offers a reliable 18-contact connection suitable for mass termination applications in industrial, automotive, and electronic manufacturing sectors.

The connector supports one-step assembly and reduces labor costs. Stackable design maximizes flexibility in system configuration. Friction lock feature prevents disconnection in high-vibration environments. Polarizing tabs ensure correct mating and prevent damage.

High durability housing with nylon material improves longevity. Compatible with a wide range of wire gauges and ribbon cables. Stable electrical performance under high temperature and mechanical stress. Widely used in automotive, computing, and consumer electronic applications.

Meets application requirements for mass termination and cost efficiency.
