The single shrouded wall guides the mating connector into alignment and protects the pins from accidental stubbing during assembly. The header accepts the matching MTA-156 receptacle housing (sold separately) with crimp terminals. The friction lock is a standard feature across the MTA-156 series, so any 12-position receptacle with the same lock geometry mates here.
The mating half is a 12-position MTA-156 receptacle housing with friction lock, using the matching crimp terminals. The 0.156" pitch and single-row layout are standard across the series, so any 12-position MTA-156 receptacle with the same lock mates correctly.
