MTA, CST-100 II and SL-156 Connectors

Prepared IDC Ribbon Cable

In addition to bulk cable, the US Engi-

neering Cable Assembly Group offers

Prepared Cable for the .100 [2.54] and

.156 [3.96] centerline cables. This can be

in the form of prenotched cable on reels

or cut-to-length cable segments.

Prenotched 250 foot reels of cable can

be produced with notches at varying in-

crements or repeating all along the cable.

The maximum width of these cables is

20 conductor for the .100 [2.54] center-

line and 13 conductor for the .156 [3.96]

centerline.

Prepared Cable is also available with a

Strip and Retain feature allowing the

cable assembly to be soldered directly to

the PC Board. This saves space and cost

and reduces spare parts inventory. Strip

and Retain on both ends is used in family

board applications to maintain the electri-

cal connection when the PC Board is sep-

arated into smaller boards after soldering.

Widths are limited to 20 conductors for

the .100 [2.54] centerline and 13 conduc-

tors for the .156 [3.96] centerline. Howev-

er, multiple cables can be placed side-by-

side in a single connector. For other styles

and configurations contact the product

engineer or product manager.
