Overview

The 3-640440-4 is a 4-position, 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch IDC receptacle from the MTA-100 series designed for wire-to-board connectivity. This red-coded connector is specifically engineered for 22 AWG discrete or ribbon cable, utilizing Insulation Displacement Contacts (IDC) for fast and reliable termination without stripping wires.

Why Choose This Part

The MTA-100 system offers a high current rating of 5A at 250VAC, making it robust for its size. Its IDC design eliminates wire stripping and crimping, while the locking ramp ensures secure retention against vibration in 0.100 inch pitch applications.

Applications

Internal Signal Routing
Connecting sensors and low-power peripherals to main PCB headers in industrial or consumer electronics.
Wire-to-Board Interconnects
Used with 2.54mm friction lock or shrouded headers for secure internal power and signal distribution.
Mass Termination Assembly
Ideal for high-volume production where IDC termination significantly reduces assembly time compared to crimp-and-poke connectors.
