MTA Wire Selection
Proper wire selection is critical
to the success of a wire-to-
board application. The chart
identifies wires that have been
evaluated and approved by the
product engineering section.
If you plan to use a wire not
on the approved list, please
submit a sample 12" length of
wire to Tyco Electronics for
evaluation.

Note: When selecting approved wire styles noted on this list, the MTA Application Specifications guidelines must be
followed. Also, due to wire variations in insulation wall thickness, hardness and wire stranding we would recom-
mend evaluating the wire selected before final application approval.

Notes:
1. Cable shall be notched, as indicated in the individual ribbon cable connector assembly drawing, according to the
requirements specified in these figures. Conductor shall not be exposed after notching, nor shall individual wire
stands be cut or nicked.
2. U.L. Style #2651 ribbon cable is approved for use with MTA-100 and MTA-156 connectors per Application
Specification 114-1031 and 114-1032.
