Product details

0.156" Pitch IDC Receptacle, 4 Positions, 18 AWG

The TE Connectivity MTA-156 3-641217-4 is a 4-position IDC receptacle built for discrete or ribbon cable harnesses. Termination is insulation-displacement — the 18 AWG wire is pressed into the contact slot without stripping or crimping, which speeds harness assembly when the wire gauge is fixed. The housing is orange, a visual key common in the MTA-156 family for quick identification on the line. A closed-end design means the wire stops at the back of the slot, giving consistent insertion depth across all four positions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest equivalent to 3-641217-4?

The MTA-156 series includes other position counts at the same 0.156" pitch, but a direct pin-compatible substitute would need to match the 4-position count, IDC termination, 18 AWG wire size, and gold plating — verify the BOM line before substituting.
