Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-641214-1 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MTA-100 series. The substitute part 4-641214-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters that define connector functionality and compatibility:

Key Parameters for Substitution Equivalence:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (11 positions, 1 row)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting orientation and method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact dimensions and geometry (Mating length 0.295", Post length 0.140", Square shape)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating at 30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Electrical ratings (250VAC, -55°C ~ 105°C operating range)
• Material compliance (UL94 V-0, Thermoplastic insulation)

The substitute part differs only in product status (Active versus Obsolete) and packaging configuration (Bulk versus standard), with improved RoHS compliance and REACH status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 4-641214-1 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-641214-1 within the MTA-100 connector series. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility in existing designs.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-641214-1 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 4-641214-1 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and documented inventory availability.

Compliance Advantage: The 4-641214-1 provides improved regulatory compliance through RoHS compliance certification and defined REACH status (REACH Unaffected), compared to the 1-641214-1's non-compliant and vendor-undefined status. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and identical electrical performance across the -55°C to 105°C operating range.

Packaging: The 4-641214-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production environments requiring standard component quantities. The 1-641214-1 packaging configuration is not specified in available documentation.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 4-641214-1 is the appropriate selection based on active product status, regulatory compliance, and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-641214-1 and 4-641214-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at 250VAC with identical contact specifications, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). Electrical performance is equivalent across all rated parameters.

Q: Can the 4-641214-1 replace the 1-641214-1 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 4-641214-1 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle), and footprint specifications. Direct substitution on existing printed circuit boards is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1-641214-1 is classified as obsolete, indicating TE Connectivity has discontinued active manufacturing and support. The 4-641214-1 maintains active status with ongoing production, technical support, and documented inventory availability. For applications requiring long-term component supply, the active part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 4-641214-1's RoHS compliance provides regulatory advantage for applications subject to RoHS directives. Both parts maintain identical material composition and performance specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 4-641214-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 1-641214-1 packaging configuration is not specified in available technical documentation. Bulk packaging is standard for production component procurement.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness over copper alloy base material. Contact finish specifications are identical, ensuring equivalent mating performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector specifications.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Current rating varies by wire gauge. Specific current capacity depends on the wire gauge of connected conductors and must be determined based on application requirements and wire specifications.
