IDC termination for 22-26 AWG — what the wire range means for harness assembly
The TE Connectivity AMPMODU MT 5-102694-5 is a 14-position, dual-row IDC receptacle designed for 22-26 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and matching 0.100" row spacing put it on the standard AMPMODU grid — footprint-compatible with the broad range of AMPMODU MT headers. The closed-end IDC slot prevents the cable from pushing through the back of the housing, which simplifies fixturing during mass-termination.
Wiring and termination — what to match on the line
The 22-26 AWG range covers the most common signal-level wire sizes in control cabinets and internal equipment harnesses. Discrete or ribbon cable — the IDC slot accepts both, so the same receptacle works for point-to-point wiring or multi-conductor ribbon assemblies.
Comparison — 14 positions vs the 17-position 1-226733-4
The 1-226733-4 is the closest AMPMODU MT sibling in the evidence: same dual-row, free-hanging IDC receptacle family, but at 17 positions against the 14 of the 5-102694-5. Both use female socket contacts and share the 0.100" pitch. The 1-226733-4 adds a detent-lock fastening feature not present on the 5-102694-5.
