8-Position IDC Receptacle for 0.156" Pitch Harnesses
The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint — the same spacing used across the series for wire-to-board power and signal connections. The orange housing colour is a visual key for the 8-circuit count within the MTA-156 colour-coding scheme.
Locking Ramp vs Detent Lock — Retention Under Vibration
This differs from the detent-lock found on the 1-226733-4, which provides lighter retention suited for ribbon-cable applications where the cable itself adds stiffness. For a harness routed through a cabinet or vehicle interior, the locking ramp resists unseating from cable tug or vibration better than a detent. The 1-1703095-1 uses a latch lock at 5.00mm pitch — not a direct footprint swap; the 0.156" pitch of the 3-641217-8 is the standard MTA-156 spacing.
It is RoHS3 compliant.
Wire gauge is fixed at 18 AWG; the closed-end feature prevents the cable from pushing through the housing. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means no panel cutout is needed; the connector floats in the harness bundle.
