The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint — the 9 positions line up with a 9-circuit BOM line. The IDC termination is set for 20 AWG wire; the wire gauge is fixed by the slot geometry, so confirm your harness uses 20 AWG before specifying this member.
Termination and Wire Handling
IDC termination means the wire is pushed into a slot that slices through the insulation and grips the conductor — no stripping, no crimping. The 20 AWG wire gauge is fixed by the slot width; the connector accepts both discrete wires and ribbon cable, so a technician can use it in a point-to-point harness or a ribbon assembly. The feed-through feature lets the cable pass straight through the housing, which simplifies daisy-chaining in a harness.

Locking and Assembly
The free-hanging (in-line) mount means this receptacle is not board-mounted; it lives on the wire harness and mates to a board-mounted header.
