The 3-641208-8: This is a single-row, 8-position header from the MTA-156 series, pitched at 0.156" (3.96mm). It mates with MTA-156 receptacle housings and crimp terminals for board-to-cable/wire applications. The shrouded 1-wall design and friction lock keep the mated pair engaged under moderate vibration — the lock clicks into the receptacle latch window, not a separate locking ramp. Rated at 600VAC, the header suits general-purpose and industrial wiring.
The base product number is 641208.
Shrouded with a single wall on one side. The 1-wall shroud guides the receptacle into alignment and protects the pins from side impact during mating.
