Overview

The 3-640440-3 is a 3-position MTA-100 series IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) receptacle designed for high-density wire-to-board connections. It features a 2.54mm pitch and is specifically engineered for 22 AWG discrete or ribbon cable termination without the need for wire stripping. This connector includes a locking ramp for secure mating and is color-coded red to indicate its specific wire gauge compatibility.

Why Choose This Part

The IDC termination method significantly reduces assembly time by allowing wires to be connected without stripping or soldering. Its locking ramp provides positive retention to prevent accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments, while the phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating ensure reliable electrical performance at a 250V rating.

Applications

Internal Signal Routing
Connecting sensors or switches to control boards in industrial and consumer electronics.
Low-Voltage Power Distribution
Distributing up to 5A of current to peripheral components in small appliance designs.
Prototyping and Repair
Reliable field termination and cable assembly creation using MTA manual or power tooling.
