The connector is configured as a free-hanging, right-angle plug with male pins and a closed end, finished in yellow. ## IDC Termination and Wire Selection The 3-641436-4 terminates 20 AWG wire only — the IDC slot is gated for that single gauge, so don't substitute 18 or 22 AWG. The closed-end design prevents wire over-insertion and shields the termination point. The 80.0µin tin contact finish is notably thick for an IDC product — standard tin flash is often 40–50 µ\". The heavier plating provides better corrosion resistance in non-sealed environments and supports a reasonable number of mating cycles, though tin contacts still gall under repeated disconnect/reconnect in the field. This plug is best specified for one-time or occasional mating, not daily service. This plug mates with any TE MTA-156 header of the same 4-circuit count and 0.156\" pitch. The right-angle orientation of the plug means the mated pair will have the cable exiting at 90° to the header's mounting plane — check your mechanical clearance if the header is board-mounted. The single-row layout keeps the mated width to about 0.7\" overall.","metaTitle":"TE MTA-156 3-641436-4 Plug, 4 Pos IDC 20 AWG","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity MTA-156 3-641436-4 plug, 4 circuits, 0.156\" pitch, IDC termination for 20 AWG discrete or ribbon cable.
