]
Wire-to-Post Connectors
preloaded with dual beam
contacts
Connectors and headers,
except shrouded headers,
are end-to-end stackable
Connector styles include
both closed end and feed-
thru connectors with locking
ramps, with and without
polarizing tabs
Molded ribs on housing do
not allow reverse mating
Posted connectors for 2
through 19 positions
Connectors preloaded with
IDC contacts
All contacts are slotted for
insulation displacement
(IDC) terminal technique
Contacts are lubricated for
fretting corrosion protection
Benefits derived from the
MTA-100 system include
increased quality and ease
of handling such as —
I
One-step assembly
I
No wire stripping
I
No contact damage
I
Reduced wiring errors
I
Simpler tooling
I
Simple maintenance and
repair

Assembly
MTA-100 connectors
accept discrete and ribbon
cable wire sizes ranging
from 22 – 28 AWG [0.4 –
0.08 mm
2
] with maximum
insulation outside diameter
of .060 [1.52] for terminat-
ing single wire and .050
[1.27] for mass termination
of wires. Tin plated solid,
fused stranded, or stranded
(7 strands) wire with PVC
insulation can be used on
22 – 28 AWG [0.4 – 0.9 mm
2
]
MTA-100 connectors and
19 stranded wire on
22–24 AWG [0.4– 0.2 mm
2
]
MTA-100 connectors. Only
one wire to be terminated
into an IDC contact slot.
The wire-to-post connector
housing material is flame
retardant thermoplastic,
either UL94V-2 or UL94V-0
rated.
A full line of .100 [2.54]
centerline headers com-
pletes the system. Headers
are available with straight or
right-angle posts, in flat,
polarized or friction lock
styles. Headers are avail-
able in 2 through 28
positions. Shrouded headers
are available in 2 through
14 positions.
