2-Position IDC Receptacle for Discrete or Ribbon Cable
The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint — a common choice for low-circuit-count power taps or sensor harnesses where the IDC termination saves a crimp step.
What the 0.156" Pitch and IDC Termination Mean for Your Build
At 2 positions, the connector is compact enough for tight spaces but still uses the same IDC slot geometry as the rest of the MTA-156 family. The closed-end feature prevents the cable from pushing through the housing during termination.
Mating and Locking: What Connects to This Receptacle
This receptacle mates with the standard MTA-156 header — a 0.025" square pin header on the same 0.156" pitch, available in vertical and right-angle configurations. The gold contact finish (3.00µin) is a light flash; it's adequate for the mating cycles in a typical appliance or equipment harness but not designed for repeated field disconnect/reconnect cycles where thicker gold or tin would be preferred.
