5-Position IDC Receptacle on 0.156" Pitch
The TE Connectivity MTA-156 3-640432-5 is a 5-position, single-row receptacle that terminates discrete or ribbon cable via IDC. The 0.156" (3.96 mm) pitch is the standard MTA-156 spacing — it matches the full range of MTA-156 headers and the ribbon cable slot pitch. The closed-end design blocks the last cavity, so the cable stops at position 5 and no pass-through exists; that matters when you're routing the harness and need a positive cable stop at the end of the connector. It's rated for 20 AWG wire — the IDC slot is sized for that gauge, and the tin-plated contacts (80.0 µin / 2.03 µm) handle the current of a typical signal or low-power circuit in this class. The yellow housing is a visual identifier on the harness; it stands out against the more common natural or black MTA-156 parts.
IDC Termination — What You Need On Site
No crimp tool, no solder — just a simple hand press or a bench press. That makes it a field-repairable part if you carry the right cable and a basic IDC tool. The free-hanging (in-line) mount means it floats in the harness; no panel cutout or board mount required.
