Its 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch matches the standard MTA-100 pin header footprint, making it a direct wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect for harness assemblies in appliances, industrial controls, and consumer electronics. The red housing and locking ramp provide visual and mechanical keying against accidental disconnection.
Termination and Wiring — IDC for 22 AWG
It accepts discrete or ribbon cable, so the same connector works for point-to-point wiring or multi-conductor ribbon harnesses.
Plating and Contact Duty — Heavy Tin for Moderate Cycles
Tin contacts are rated for fewer mate/unmate cycles than gold, so this connector is best specified for semi-permanent harness connections where the receptacle mates once during assembly and stays mated for the product life.
