Product details

MTA-156 3-Position IDC Receptacle — 0.156" Pitch, 18 AWG, Locking Ramp

The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint exactly — no layout guesswork. Designed for 18 AWG wire, the IDC slot punches through the insulation on assembly, saving a stripping step in harness production.

This receptacle mates with any MTA-156 header of the same pitch and position count — the 0.156" (3.96mm) spacing is the series standard. No secondary position assurance (TPA) is required; the IDC termination holds the wire in place after the punch-down.

Frequently asked questions

Does 3-640599-3 work with MTA-156 headers?

Yes, this receptacle mates with any MTA-156 header of the same 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and 3-position layout. The locking ramp engages the header latch for a vibration-resistant connection.

What wire gauge does 3-640599-3 support?

The IDC slot is designed for 18 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. No wire stripping is needed — the insulation is pierced during the IDC punch-down.
