What This Connector Is — 3-Position MTA-156 IDC Receptacle
The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-156 footprint — a spacing that handles moderate current without crowding the harness layout. The orange housing stands out on a wire run — useful for tracing a circuit during troubleshooting.
IDC Termination — Wire Prep and Fit
No crimp tool, no separate terminal. Rated for 18 AWG wire, discrete or ribbon cable. For a harness builder, this means faster assembly if you're running 18 AWG solid or standard stranded, but verify the wire type — some fine-stranded wire may not displace cleanly.
