MTA-156 connectors accept discrete and ribbon cable wire sizes ranging from 18 – 26 AWG [0.9– 0.12 mm2] with maximum insulation outside diameter.095 [2.41] for single wire and .070 [1.78] for mass termination of wires. Tin plated solid, fused stranded or stranded (7, 16, and 19 strands) wire with PVC insulation can be used on 18 AWG [0.8 – 0.9 mm2] MTA-156 connectors; 7, 10, and 19 stranded wire on 20 AWG [0.5 – 0.6 mm2] MTA-156 connectors; and 7 and 19 stranded wire on 22 – 26 AWG [0.4 – 0.12 mm2] MTA-156 connectors.

Only one wire to be terminated into an IDC contact slot.

Mass termination of wire provides the lowest applied cost because it drastically reduces the labor content of virtually any cable or harness assembly required.

The wire-to-post connector housing material is flame retardant thermoplastic, either UL94V-2 or UL94V-0 rated.

A full line of .156 [3.96] centerline headers completes the system. Headers are available with straight or right-angle posts, in flat friction lock and shrouded styles. Headers are available in 2 through 24 positions.
