The 5-103956-3: It terminates discrete 22-26 AWG wire via IDC (insulation displacement) — no crimp tool needed, just a press tool to push the wire into the slot. This is the female half of the connection; the male counterpart is the AMPMODU MTE pin header (same series, matching position count). Typical use is in internal harnesses for industrial controls, test equipment, and consumer appliances where a reliable, low-cost discrete-wire connection is needed.
Wire Gauge and Termination
The 5-103956-3 accepts 22-26 AWG discrete wire. The IDC termination cuts through the insulation and makes contact with the conductor in one operation — the slot geometry is sized for that wire range. For 24 AWG, which falls right in the middle, this connector is a direct fit.
The free-hanging (in-line) mounting means the receptacle is terminated to a cable, not soldered to a board, so the cable assembly is field-replaceable without desoldering.
