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.

MTA-100 Ribbon Cable Preparation MTA-156 Ribbon Cable Preparation

† The dimensions shown represent the recommended minimum and maximum for notches;

the actual dimension will depend on your application requirements.

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.
