This is the smallest position count in the MTE IDC line, used for terminating a single signal pair or a power/ground pair where you need a discrete, field-serviceable connection. The MTE series uses a detent-lock or latch-lock system depending on the receptacle variant — the plug itself does not carry a locking latch, so the retention force comes from the interference fit of the IDC terminals and the friction of the pin-and-socket interface. For applications where vibration resistance matters, pair it with a receptacle that has an integral latch (check the specific receptacle part number for locking features). ## Termination and wire preparation Termination is IDC — the contacts are pre-loaded into the housing, and the ribbon cable is pressed onto the slot array with a bench press or hand tool. The wire gauge range of 26-30 AWG covers standard ribbon cable gauges; the 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the male pins gives a corrosion-resistant mating surface that handles repeated connect-disconnect cycles better than tin, though the IDC interface itself is a one-time termination. The closed-end feature means the cable stops at the back wall of the housing, so you don't need to measure cable insertion depth — just press until the cable bottoms out. No strain relief is built into the plug body; for a cable that will be flexed, add a separate strain-relief boot or tie-down point near the connector.","metaTitle":"TE AMPMODU MTE 5-103949-1, 2-Pin IDC Plug, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"TE 5-103949-1 AMPMODU MTE 2-position IDC plug, 0.100\" pitch, 26-30 AWG ribbon cable, gold contacts.
