Streamline Assembly Process with MTA 100 Connectors
TE Connectivity's MTA 100 connectors are designed to enhance efficiency and reliability in wire-to-post applications. Supporting wire sizes from 22 to 28 AWG, these connectors are preloaded with dual beam insulation displacement contacts (IDC) that allow for fast, one-step assembly without the need for wire stripping or contact damage. Available in 2 to 28 positions, the connectors and headers are end-to-end stackable, except for shrouded headers, and feature molded ribs to prevent reverse mating. With styles including closed-end and feed-thru connectors with locking ramps and optional polarizing tabs, the MTA 100 system simplifies wiring processes, reduces errors, and improves maintenance.
