TE 643817-2 MTA-156 12-Position IDC Receptacle

The TE 643817-2 is an MTA-156 series IDC receptacle configured for 12 positions and optimized for larger conductors (18 AWG). It features tin-plated female sockets, polarizing tabs, and locking ramps for secure connections. MTA-156 assemblies allow fast, solderless termination and are widely used in harnessing, appliance wiring, and ruggedized assemblies. The part’s current rating is commonly in the multi-amp range for 18 AWG (check the datasheet for exact values; many MTA-156 variants list ~7 A depending on conductor and environment). Request the full TE datasheet before production to confirm current, insulation, and material specs.
