Product details

Eight Positions, Right-Angle, Friction Lock — MTA-100 Header

The 2-644488-8: Rated 250VAC, with current capacity that depends on the wire gauge crimped into the mating terminal.

Tin Plating: Cost-Effective for Moderate-Duty Signal Connections

Both the mating contact surface and the solder post are tin-plated. Tin is a reliable, low-cost finish for applications with fewer than 50 mating cycles and no exposure to corrosive atmospheres. The square male pins measure 0.200" (5.08mm) mating length and 0.130" (3.30mm) post length, fitting standard 0.025" square-post receptacles common in the MTA-100 ecosystem.

Mates with MTA-100 IDC Receptacles and Crimp Housings

The 8-position, 0.100" pitch, single-row layout mates directly with MTA-100 IDC receptacles (e.g., 640445-8) and crimp-style receptacle housings. Confirm the mating half's position count and keying — this header is not keyed, so it accepts unkeyed or polarized receptacles with the corresponding lock feature.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 2-644488-8 and what is the lead time?

2-644488-8 is an active TE Connectivity part.

What is the difference between 2-644488-8 and 2-644488-7?

The difference is position count: 2-644488-8 has 8 positions, while 2-644488-7 has 7 positions. Both are single-row, right-angle, tin-plated MTA-100 headers with friction lock.

Can 2-644488-8 be used with MTA-100 IDC connectors?

Yes. The 0.100" pitch and single-row layout are designed to mate with MTA-100 IDC receptacles and crimp housings. Verify the receptacle position count and lock feature — this header accepts both keyed and unkeyed mates as long as the lock interface aligns.
