The housing is natural (unpigmented) and carries a feed-through feature, meaning the IDC slot passes through the body so the wire can be inserted straight through — useful when you need to daisy-chain or continue the wire beyond the connector. ## Pitch and Footprint — What 0.157\" Means for Layout At 0.157\" (4.00 mm) pitch, this connector occupies more board real estate per circuit than a typical 0.100\" ribbon IDC header, but the trade-off is that 22 AWG wire fits comfortably in the IDC slot without crowding. For a 4-position part, the total footprint is about 0.630\" wide — compact enough for most control or sensor interface boards. ## Termination and Assembly — IDC on Individual Wires No stripping, no crimping — just a one-step press. The feed-through design means the wire can pass straight through the connector body, which simplifies daisy-chaining to a second connector or continuing the run to a termination point. The surface-mount right-angle orientation means the connector is reflow-soldered to the board first, then the wires are inserted after soldering — plan the assembly sequence accordingly.","metaTitle":"TE 2-2106431-4 IDC Connector, 4 Pos, 0.157\" Pitch, SMD RA","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2-2106431-4 IDC connector, 4 positions, 0.157\" (4.00 mm) pitch, 22 AWG, surface mount right angle, tin contacts, ROHS3 compliant.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Direct Wire-to-Board"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Natural","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Feed Through","Wire Gauge":"22 AWG","Cable Pitch":"0.157\\\" (4.00mm)","Row Spacing":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Individual Wires","Contact Finish":"Tin","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Board-Side Pitch":"0.157\\\" (4.00mm)","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"2106431","Number of Positions":"4","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.4900","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.49000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.29900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.24360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.21620","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.16090","currency":"USD"},{"qty":450,"price":"$0.96738","currency":"USD"},{"qty":900,"price":"$0.93974","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1350,"price":"$0.82919","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2250,"price":"$0.80155","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3150,"price":"$0.77391","currency":"USD"},{"qty":11250,"price":"$0.71863","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/140313ddf40f3bf3c6c4de2e689bc056.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/2-2106431-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 2-2106431-4 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU restriction of hazardous substances directive."},{"question":"Does 2-2106431-4 have a lock feature?","answer":"No locking latch or secondary lock is listed in the specifications.
