Product details

MTA-156 IDC Receptacle, 3-Position, Gold Contacts

It mates with the standard MTA-156 header, using the locking ramp for retention in moderate-vibration harness assemblies. The closed-end housing prevents wire over-insertion and provides a positive stop for the cable jacket during IDC termination.

Termination and Wire Handling

The 18 AWG wire gauge is the only supported size; verify the harness wire gauge matches before specifying. The free-hanging (in-line) mount suits point-to-point or daisy-chain wiring inside an enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3-641217-3 available via RFQ confirmation?

3-641217-3 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

Is 3-641217-3 compatible with MTA-156 headers?

Yes, this receptacle mates with the standard MTA-156 header at the same 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch. The locking ramp engages the header latch for retention. Confirm the header has 3 positions and a matching keying feature.

What wire gauge does 3-641217-3 support?

18 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. The IDC slot is sized for that gauge only — do not use a different wire size without verifying the fit.
