Product details

What This Connector Does in the Harness

The TE Connectivity 3-643818-7 is a 7-position MTA-156 IDC receptacle designed for mass-terminating discrete or ribbon cable to a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch header.

Pitch, Positions, and Termination — What Fits the BOM

The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch is the defining board-layout dimension — it matches the standard MTA-156 header footprint. The IDC termination accepts 20 AWG wire only, so verify your wire gauge against the BOM before committing.

Mating and Mounting — Free-Hanging Receptacle

It mates with the corresponding MTA-156 header (male pin strip) that is through-hole or surface-mount soldered to the board. The closed end and polarizing key prevent incorrect insertion: the closed end blocks a header with more positions than 7, and the key ensures the receptacle can only be mated one way.

Frequently asked questions

What wire gauge does 3-643818-7 accept?

This IDC receptacle is specified for 20 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. The insulation displacement slot is sized for that wire diameter.

What is the pitch of 3-643818-7?

The pitch is 0.156" (3.96mm), which is the standard MTA-156 spacing. This matches the header footprint on the PCB.
