Overview

The 3-640441-8 is an 8-position, 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch IDC receptacle from TE Connectivity's MTA-100 series. Designed for 24 AWG wire, this connector features a closed-end design and a locking ramp for secure wire-to-board connections. It provides a reliable, mass-termination solution for discrete wires or ribbon cables in right-angle configurations.

Why Choose This Part

The IDC termination method eliminates the need for stripping and crimping individual pins, significantly reducing assembly time. The locking ramp provides positive retention to headers, while the nylon housing and phosphor bronze contacts ensure durability across a -55 to 105 degrees Celsius temperature range.

Applications

Internal Signal Routing
Connecting control signals between PCBs and peripheral modules using 24 AWG discrete wire.
Industrial Control Panels
Providing a locking wire-to-board interface that withstands vibration in automation equipment.
Power Distribution
Handling low-power DC distribution with a current rating of up to 5A and 250V voltage rating.
