The tin-plated solder tails (150 µinch) are designed for wave-solder through-hole assembly. Rated for 250VAC and a current that varies by wire gauge, the header suits general-purpose power and signal distribution inside equipment enclosures. This header mates with MTA-100 receptacle housings (e.g., 640441 series) and IDC connectors that accept 18-26 AWG discrete wire or ribbon cable. Through-hole termination: the 0.140\" (3.56mm) post length suits standard 1.6mm PCBs. ## Comparing the 641215-3 to its peer alternatives The 641215-3 differs in three decision-relevant axes: 3 positions vs 4, single-row vs dual-row, and gold vs tin on the mating surface. For a 3-circuit single-row board-to-cable application with gold contacts, the 641215-3 is the direct choice — the 1-1871673-2 is a different footprint and contact system.","metaTitle":"641215-3 TE Connectivity MTA-100 Header, 3-Pos, 2.54mm","metaDescription":"641215-3 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors MTA-100 header, 3 positions, 0.100\" pitch, shrouded-1 wall, friction lock, gold mating finish.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"MTA-100","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS non-compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"MTA-100","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 1 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.305\\\" (7.75mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"641215","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"3","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.140\\\" (3.56mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"0.535\\\" (13.59mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Contact Length - Mating":"0.295\\\" (7.49mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"150.0µin (3.81µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.9300","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.93000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.88500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.72880","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.66258","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.57293","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.49108","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.48236","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/641215-3/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for the 641215-3?","answer":"This header mates with MTA-100 receptacle housings (such as the 640441 series) and IDC connectors designed for 0.100\" pitch ribbon cable or discrete wire.
