TE Connectivity 8-Way Shrouded IDC Connector Female for Cable 1 Row 250V AC 5A 2.54mm Pitch MTA-100 Series 3-643815-8

TE Connectivity 3-643815-8 8-Way Shrouded IDC Connector Female for Cable with 1 Row and 2.54mm pitch is part of the MTA-100 series designed for efficient mass wire termination at 250V AC and 5A current rating.

This connector uses insulation displacement contacts (IDC) that allow fast, one-step assembly by eliminating wire stripping, dramatically improving production efficiency while maintaining reliable connections. Tin-plated copper contacts ensure excellent conductivity and resistance against fretting corrosion. The nylon housing provides mechanical strength and electrical insulation, designed with molded ribs to prevent incorrect mating and with polarizing tabs for alignment.

Operating reliably across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, this cable-mount connector offers a friction lock mechanism to maintain secure mating during vibration and handling. It is shrouded for enhanced safety and is suitable for use in automotive body systems, chassis, safety electronics, as well as computer and consumer electronic devices such as desktops, notebooks, servers, and storage systems.

The MTA-100 IDC system enables labor and cost-saving mass termination of discrete wires from 28 AWG to 22 AWG by means of quick, tool-based assembly. This connector is end-to-end stackable for flexible installations.

The connector features a 2.54mm pitch for precise wire alignment. Insulation displacement contacts enable fast, one-step assembly without wire stripping. Tinned copper contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Nylon housing ensures durability and electrical insulation with molded ribs and polarizing tabs. Friction lock mechanism guarantees secure mating connections during use. Wide temperature operation from -55°C to 105°C suits diverse industrial environments.

Shrouded design enhances user safety and prevents accidental contact. Compatible with MTA-100 series for cable mounting applications. Ideal for automotive, electronics, and consumer device wiring systems.
