The MTA-50 IDC Connector
System is a wire-to-printed cir-
cuit board system with con-
tacts in a staggered, single
row on .050 [1.27] centerline.
The design features wire feed-
through capability for daisy-
chain applications. Insulation
displacement contacts are
used to terminate a wide
range of conductor sizes.
Ribbon cable can also be ter-
minated when the appropriate
receptacle assembly and
strain relief cover are used.
Header assemblies for board
mount applications include
right-angle (horizontal) and
vertical mount products.
These are available in
through-hole and surface
mount configurations.
Typical uses of the MTA-50
IDC connectors would be in
the Appliance, Commercial
and Home Equipment and
Security products industries.

These matrixes have been
prepared to assist you in
defining the correct mating
halves for the MTA-50 header
and connector kit combina-
tion. Where a “Y” is indicated
the combination is a valid
mating pair.
Note:
Tyco Electronics does NOT rec-
ommend intermating connectors and
headers with different contact plat-
ings.
