Overview
The 3-640440-8 is a member of the MTA-100 series, designed for high-density wire-to-board applications using Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) technology. This 8-position receptacle features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch and is color-coded red for 22 AWG wire compatibility. It provides a reliable, mass-terminable connection for discrete wires or ribbon cables without the need for wire stripping.
Why Choose This Part
The IDC design allows for rapid termination of all 8 positions simultaneously using specialized tooling, significantly reducing assembly time compared to crimp-and-poke methods. The integrated locking ramp ensures a secure mechanical connection to headers, while the tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts support a 5A current rating per circuit.
Applications
Industrial Control Panels
Connecting internal logic boards to peripheral sensors and switches using 22 AWG wiring.
Consumer Appliances
Used for internal power and signal routing where vibration resistance and secure locking ramps are required.
HVAC Systems
Reliable wire-to-board termination for thermostat controls and sensor arrays.
