MTA 100 Connectors
Most of our products have an option of being ordered using Amp MTA-100 connectors instead of terminal screw connectors. For example, the BC2D15 unit when supplied with the AMP MTA-100 connectors appears as follows:
This
product has three 4-pin, two 5-pin and one 6-pin connector. Our other products
have varying sets of connectors: contact us for details if you need them.
You will have to obtain matching connectors based on the wire size which you will be using.
A representative set of AMP part numbers which will mate with our connectors would be (there are quite a few others; these are the least expensive variety which we have found):
4 wire: 640440-4, 22

ROHS versions may have a "3-" or "4-" precursor; however, searches using the above numbers should work.
They are available both from Mouser (http://www.mouser.com)
and Digikey (http://www.digikey.com).
Please note that the Digikey and Mouser search engines may also report other
matches (for example, they may show both a 4 pin and a 14 pin connector
containing the 640440-4 number); be careful to select the one which has the
correct number of pins!
The tools from Amp to crimp the MTA-100 connectors are also available from both Digikey and Mouser. The one which we use here (which takes us about 30 seconds or less per connector) is the A9982-ND T-Handle (the list price varies from about $16 to $20 each), which can be used to connect one wire at a time. A tool which appears to be designed to do the whole set at a time (which we have never tried) is also available and consists of 2 parts. The A2031-ND is a pistol-grip handle, which works with the A1998-ND crimp die. Those two parts together cost about $160.00; we presume that they are for high volume work.
