MTA-100 2-Position Friction Lock Header
Overview
The 640456-2 is a 2-position, single-row straight header from TE Connectivity's MTA-100 series. This through-hole connector features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch and a friction lock mechanism to ensure secure wire-to-board mating. It is rated for 5A and 250VAC, making it a reliable choice for power and signal distribution in space-constrained designs.
Why Choose This Part
This header features tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a UL94V-0 rated polyester housing for robust performance across a -55C to +105C temperature range. The friction lock provides enough retention force to prevent accidental disconnection from vibration while remaining easy to disconnect for field service. Its 250V rating and 5A capacity allow it to handle more power than standard 0.1-inch break-away headers.
