Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-641214-0 with the 4-641214-0 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (10 positions, 1 row)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting orientation and method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact finish and material (Gold finish, Copper Alloy)
• Voltage and temperature ratings (250VAC, -55°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (MTA-100)

The substitute part 4-641214-0 maintains complete compatibility with the original part's electrical performance, mechanical interface, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 4-641214-0 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1-641214-0. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The main part 1-641214-0 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The substitute 4-641214-0 maintains active product status, ensuring continued supply chain access and manufacturing support.

Compliance Certification: The substitute part 4-641214-0 is RoHS Compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. For applications subject to environmental regulations or customer compliance requirements, the substitute part satisfies current regulatory frameworks.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical parameters (voltage rating, operating temperature, contact finish, and material specifications) and mechanical parameters (pitch, position count, mounting type, and shrouding configuration). Direct substitution does not require circuit redesign or mechanical re-layout.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part 4-641214-0 has 845 pieces in active stock, compared to 1,137 pieces of the obsolete main part. Active product status ensures long-term availability for production and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-641214-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-641214-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 4-641214-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-641214-0. All critical parameters including pitch, position count, voltage rating, operating temperature range, contact finish, and mounting configuration are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are product status and compliance certification. The 1-641214-0 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 4-641214-0 is active and RoHS Compliant. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in the documentation. The substitute part 4-641214-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 4-641214-0 is RoHS Compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status. The original part 1-641214-0 is RoHS non-compliant. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the substitute part satisfies this requirement.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a mating pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm), which is the standard spacing for MTA-100 series connectors. This pitch is compatible with standard 0.100" header receptacles and cable assemblies.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C. This temperature range is suitable for general industrial and commercial applications. Verify specific application requirements against this range.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 250VAC. Current capacity varies by wire gauge used in the mating cable assembly. Consult wire gauge specifications to determine maximum current for your application.

Q: Can these connectors be used in moisture-sensitive environments?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. These connectors are suitable for standard industrial environments without desiccant packaging requirements.
