The housing is Natural in colour and includes a Feed Through feature, meaning the wires pass straight through the connector body rather than terminating at a stub end — this simplifies daisy-chain or pass-through wiring in a harness. ## IDC Termination for Individual Wires — Not Ribbon Cable This connector uses IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, but it is specified for Individual Wires — not a flat ribbon cable. The wire gauge is fixed at 24 AWG; the IDC slot geometry is sized for that single diameter, so using a different gauge risks an unreliable termination or damaged contacts. ## SMT Line Feed — Tape & Reel Packaging For a high-volume SMT line, the reel option feeds directly into a pick-and-place machine without a tray changeover. Cut Tape suits prototype runs or low-volume builds where a full reel is unnecessary.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 3-2106431-4, 4-Pos IDC Connector","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 3-2106431-4 4-position IDC connector for 24 AWG individual wires. 0.157\" (4.00 mm) pitch, SMT right-angle, tin contacts.","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":"24 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":"$1.0060","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.39000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$0.74000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.71300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.20900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.70960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.15720","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.13160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.68580","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.08010","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.57500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":450,"price":"$1.00596","currency":"USD"},{"qty":900,"price":"$0.91603","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the cable pitch and board-side pitch of 3-2106431-4?","answer":"Both the cable pitch and the board-side pitch are 0.157\" (4.00 mm).
