The closed-end housing provides a positive stop for the cable, ensuring consistent IDC depth across all three positions. Rated for 18 AWG wire only, this plug carries a Tin-Lead contact finish with 80.0µin (2.03µm) thickness, suited for applications where RoHS exemption applies or legacy compliance is acceptable. ## Termination and Wire Preparation The closed end acts as a depth stop, so the wire bottoms out at the correct insertion depth every time. Only 18 AWG wire is specified; using a different gauge risks poor contact or incomplete displacement. The plug accepts either discrete wires or ribbon cable, giving the harness builder flexibility in cable routing. ## Mating and Orientation This plug mates with a standard MTA-156 header (through-hole or surface-mount) on the board. The right-angle cable exit means the wire runs perpendicular to the header's mounting axis — a common arrangement for low-profile cable management. The free-hanging design lets the plug float slightly, accommodating minor misalignment during assembly.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 641435-3 MTA-156 Plug, 3 Pos, 0.156\" Pitch","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 641435-3 MTA-156 IDC plug, 3 positions, 0.156\" (3.96mm) pitch, 18 AWG, Tin-Lead finish.
