Lower Applied Cost with Efficient Assembly
Reduce labor, lower costs, and simplify assembly processes with TE’s MTA connector system. MTA connectors support mass termination of wires, allowing for less labor-intensive assembly and a lower applied cost. These stackable wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connectors use insulation displacement contacts (IDC) that allow for wire termination without stripping or crimping. They feature wire feed-through capability for daisy-chain applications and can terminate ribbon cable when the appropriate receptacle assembly and strain relief cover are used. Board mount headers are available in right-angle and vertical orientations and in through-hole and surface mount configurations. MTA connectors are commonly used for appliances, lighting, and industrial controls.
