The TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE 5-103960-2 is a 3-position IDC receptacle in a single-row, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch layout. It terminates discrete or ribbon cable from 26 to 30 AWG without stripping — the insulation is displaced by the contact tines during the IDC press operation. The closed-end housing prevents wire poke-through on the last position, a detail that matters when the cable is cut flush to the connector face in a harness assembly.
A 3-position receptacle at this pitch occupies 0.300" of board edge — a tight fit for a signal interconnect in a space-constrained control module. The single-row layout keeps the cable exit inline with the board, which simplifies routing in a daisy-chained harness. The 26-30 AWG range covers common signal wire gauges for ribbon cable and discrete 28 AWG equipment wire. The closed-end feature blocks the wire from exiting past the last contact position — a common failure point on open-end IDC connectors where the cable jacket can creep out of the slot.
