The 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-100 receptacle footprint, so the PCB layout is a direct drop-in for any 3-circuit MTA-100 housing.
The header includes a pick-and-place feature, so it feeds through a standard SMT placement machine without a custom nozzle.
This is a single-row, 3-position header. All positions are loaded. The pinout is a straight 1-to-1 mapping: position 1 through 3 correspond to the same numbered cavities in the mating MTA-100 receptacle housing. No keying or polarity is built into the unshrouded header.
Yes, the header is listed with a pick-and-place feature, meaning it includes a flat top surface or vacuum pick area compatible with automated SMT placement equipment.
Within the MTA-100 series, the closest alternative is another 3-position, 0.100-inch pitch, unshrouded header with the same friction lock and tin plating. The key difference is the termination — through-hole vs surface mount. Verify the mounting type before substituting.
