MTA-100 IDC Receptacle, 18 Circuits, 0.100" Pitch
The TE Connectivity 1-640440-8 is an 18-position MTA-100 receptacle that terminates discrete or ribbon cable via IDC at 22 AWG. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-100 header footprint — the circuit count is the only BOM variable to confirm against your harness schematic.
IDC Termination — Wire Gauge Is Non-Negotiable
This receptacle is designed for 22 AWG wire only. The IDC slot geometry and insulation displacement beam are sized for that specific conductor diameter.
Mating and Mounting — Free-Hanging Right-Angle
The receptacle mounts free-hanging (in-line) and exits at a right angle to the wire axis, which keeps the cable bundle parallel to the board edge in a tight enclosure. The closed end prevents the IDC contacts from being exposed at the wire entry, reducing the chance of accidental shorting during handling.
