Product details

10-position MTA-100 header, 8 loaded

The 643879-6: This is a TE MTA-100 vertical through-hole header with 10 positions on a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, but only 8 are loaded with pins. The two empty spots are moulded in — the housing has 10 cavities, the contacts stop at position 8. Check your BOM position count before you lay out the board. Single-wall shrouding leaves three sides of the pins exposed; the header is keyed by the wall orientation, not a full shroud.

Tin-plated contacts, 250 VAC line

Tin-on-tin mating finish keeps the cost down for moderate-cycle applications — expect a few dozen mate-unmate cycles before the tin wipes through.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating connector for 643879-6?

The mating half is a TE MTA-100 receptacle housing with friction lock, accepting the matching crimp terminal. The 0.100" pitch and single-row layout are standard across the series. Confirm the receptacle part number against your wire gauge and circuit count.
