MTA-156 IDC Receptacle, 3 Positions, 0.156" Pitch
The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint, making this a direct mate for the corresponding pin header. The housing is white, with a closed-end design that prevents contact stubbing during cable insertion.
IDC Termination and Wire Handling
It accepts 24 AWG wire, either discrete or ribbon cable. The closed-end feature means the insertion tool (or hand assembly) pushes the cable against a solid backstop, ensuring consistent depth and reducing scrap.
This fastening type is standard for the series and ensures the connection stays engaged under moderate vibration — typical for appliance, HVAC, and consumer electronics harnesses.
