0.100" pitch, right-angle, friction lock — board-to-wire header for cost-sensitive harnesses
Current rating depends on wire gauge and ambient temperature — the spec table notes 'Varies by Wire Gauge'. At 25 °C with 22 AWG wire, 5 A per contact is typical for the MTA-100 series, but derate above 85 °C ambient.
Tin-on-tin contact finish — low cycle, cost-optimised
Tin-to-tin interfaces are economical but oxidise over time; they are rated for a few dozen mating cycles. For a one-time board assembly or a connector that is mated once and left, this is fine.
