6-Position IDC Plug for Ribbon Cable
The TE AMPMODU MTE 103946-5 is a 6-position IDC plug designed for mass-termination to 22-26 AWG ribbon cable. The closed-end housing prevents over-insertion of the cable, so the strip aligns to the correct position every time — no guesswork on the assembly line. The free-hanging (in-line) mount lets it terminate a cable harness that plugs into a board-mount header, typical for internal point-to-point signal runs in industrial controls or data equipment.
The specified wire range of 22-26 AWG covers standard flat ribbon cable gauges; the pitch matches the conductor spacing of 0.100" ribbon, so the cable lays in without skewing the conductors. The black housing is a single-row, 6-position plug. The closed-end feature means the cable butts against a solid wall inside the housing, setting the strip length automatically. This is a production-friendly detail — it eliminates a measurement step and prevents the cable from pushing through the back of the connector.
