TE Connectivity 3-Way IDC Connector Female for Cable, 1 Row, 5A Current, 250V AC, MTA-100 Series 3-640441-3

TE Connectivity 3-640441-3 is a 3-Way IDC Connector Female designed for cable termination with a single row of contacts. Rated at 5A current and 250V AC voltage, this connector features a right angle orientation and is part of the MTA-100 series connectors, optimized for fast and reliable mass termination of wires.

The connector uses IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology that eliminates the need for wire stripping, allowing one-step assembly with pre-loaded dual beam slotted IDC contacts lubricated to protect against fretting corrosion. The tin over nickel contact plating enhances conductivity and longevity, while the copper contact material ensures reliable electrical connections.

Constructed with a nylon housing, this shrouded female connector provides mechanical robustness and electrical insulation, with moulded ribs to prevent reverse mating. It has a friction lock mechanism ensuring secure and stable mating connections, and versions with polarizing tabs are available for additional alignment assurance.

This IDC connector operates efficiently over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C, expanding its suitability for demanding industrial conditions. It is designed for applications across automotive body and chassis systems, safety and security systems, and various computer and consumer electronics, including desktops, notebooks, servers, and storage workstations.

The connector system is compatible with discrete wire gauges from 28 AWG to 22 AWG and can be quickly assembled using production hand tooling. Being end-to-end stackable facilitates compact and scalable wiring configurations in complex assemblies.

Mass termination IDC technology enables fast assembly without wire stripping. End to end stackable design allows scalable wiring. Friction lock mechanism ensures secure mating connection. Moulded ribs and polarizing tabs prevent reverse mating and assist alignment.

Nylon housing provides insulation and durability. Wide operating temperature range supports diverse applications. Suitable for automotive, computer, and consumer electronics industries.
