MTA, CST-100 II, SL-156 and
AMP Economy Power (EP) Connectors
MTA-156 IDC Quad Connectors
The MTA-156 Quad Con-
nector provides a connec-
tion with four points of
contact. The UL94V-0 rated
connector with multi-point
contacts provides greater
current carrying capability
than the Standard MTA-156
Connector. These connec-
tors comply with
Tyco Electronics Quality
Specification 102-6* and
satisfy the VDE requirements
according to VDE 110.
