8-Position IDC Receptacle for MTA-156 Harnesses
The 0.156" (3.96 mm) pitch matches the MTA-156 header footprint — the same spacing used across the series for board-to-wire interconnects in consumer appliances, HVAC controls, and lighting ballasts. The closed-end design prevents the cable from pushing past the IDC slots, so each conductor seats consistently against the tin-plated contact beams.
Tin Plating and Locking Ramp — Signal-Duty, Vibration-Resistant Mate
The 80.0 µ" (2.03 µm) tin contact finish is sized for signal-level current in moderate-cycle applications — think a few dozen matings over the product life, not daily reconnect. For higher mating-cycle counts, the gold-plated variants in the MTA-156 family are the better call.
