The 0.156" (3.96 mm) pitch is the standard spacing for this series, matching the footprint of the corresponding MTA-156 headers. The orange housing colour is a visual key for the 3-position variant within the MTA-156 family.
Wiring and Termination – IDC for 18 AWG
This plug accepts 18 AWG discrete wire or ribbon cable and terminates via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact). The feed-through feature allows daisy-chaining multiple plugs on the same wire run without cutting the cable — a time-saver in harness layouts where a signal needs to tap off at several points.
