Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 1639960000 is functionally equivalent to the main part 1640190000 based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

Electrical Parameters: Both parts maintain identical current ratings (12A IEC, 8A UL) and voltage ratings (320V IEC, 300V UL), ensuring equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Mechanical Parameters: Both parts share the same pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm), number of positions (5), wire entry orientation (270°), and termination method (Screw - Clamping Yoke). These parameters ensure physical and mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and mounting configurations.

Material & Environmental Parameters: Both parts use identical housing material (Polybutylene Terephthalate), contact material (Copper Alloy), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C), and ingress protection level (IP20).

Compliance Parameters: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), and REACH unaffected status.

Distinguishing Factor: The substitute part 1639960000 carries active product status, whereas the main part is obsolete. Housing color differs (orange vs. black), which is a cosmetic variation without functional impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1639960000 directly replace 1640190000 in existing applications? A: Yes. All electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, pitch, wire entry orientation, termination method, and environmental specifications are identical. Direct substitution is functionally compatible.

Q: Does the housing color change affect electrical performance? A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute. Electrical performance, current capacity, voltage rating, and contact characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both 1640190000 and 1639960000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference? A: The main part (1640190000) is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured. The substitute (1639960000) carries active status, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement stock.

Q: Are the wire gauge specifications identical? A: Yes. Both parts accept 14-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²) wire gauges with identical screw torque specifications (0.2-0.25 Nm).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably with different mating connectors? A: No. Both parts are 5-position, 4.60mm pitch female socket plugs. They are compatible only with mating connectors of identical pitch and position count.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts? A: Both parts operate across -50°C to 100°C, maintaining electrical and mechanical performance throughout this range.

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution? A: The main part packaging is unspecified, while the substitute is available in bulk. For production environments, bulk packaging may offer logistical advantages.
