5-Position IDC Receptacle for Discrete Wire Harnesses
The TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE 5-103969-4 is a 5-position, single-row IDC receptacle designed for terminating discrete 22-26 AWG wire without stripping or crimping. The IDC termination pierces the wire insulation on assembly, so the wire gauge must be within the stated 22-26 AWG range for a reliable gas-tight connection.
Wire Gauge and Termination — What Fits
This receptacle accepts 22-26 AWG discrete wire through its IDC slot. The 24 AWG question comes up often — yes, 24 AWG falls squarely in the middle of that range and terminates cleanly. The IDC blades are sized for the full 22-26 AWG spread; going outside that range risks an incomplete pierce or a loose fit that opens up over temperature cycles.
Mating Connector and Assembly Fit
The mating half is a standard AMPMODU MTE 0.100" pitch pin header — through-hole or surface-mount, straight or right-angle, in the same 5-position single-row configuration. The receptacle latches onto the header's locking ramp (present on most AMPMODU MTE headers) for vibration-resistant retention. No secondary lock or TPA is required; the IDC termination and the integral latch handle the mechanical duty.
