TE Connectivity 1-965640-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-965640-1 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Junior Power Timer series, designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging inline applications. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in power distribution and signal interconnection systems. The part is Active in product status with 2226 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with variations limited to housing color and inventory availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings within this product category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Connector Type: Receptacle

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Rows: 3
• Row Spacing: 0.217" (5.51mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Series: Junior Power Timer

The substitute part 1-965640-5 maintains identical values across all electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters. The only variation is housing color (Blue versus Green), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance. Both parts share the same base product number (965640) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-965640-1 and 1-965640-5 are Active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection Criteria:

1. Housing Color Requirement: If application design or assembly documentation specifies Blue housing, use 1-965640-1. If Green housing is specified or acceptable, use 1-965640-5.

2. Inventory Availability: The 1-965640-5 (Green) has higher current stock (3718 units) compared to 1-965640-1 (2226 units), making it preferable for high-volume procurement or time-sensitive applications where immediate availability is critical.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected requirements. No compliance-based differentiation exists between the two options.

4. Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Both housings accept the same crimp-terminated female socket contacts and maintain identical pitch, row spacing, and mounting characteristics.

The selection decision is driven by application-specific color coding requirements or inventory constraints rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-965640-5 be used as a direct replacement for 1-965640-1?

A: Yes. The 1-965640-5 is functionally equivalent to 1-965640-1 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is housing color (Green versus Blue). Direct substitution is valid provided application design does not mandate Blue housing for identification or assembly purposes.

Q: What determines whether these parts are interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: number of positions (6), pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), number of rows (3), row spacing (0.217" / 5.51mm), connector type (Receptacle), contact type (Female Socket), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), contact termination (Crimp), and fastening type (Latch Holder). Both parts meet these criteria identically.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both 1-965640-1 and 1-965640-5 are housings only. Crimp-terminated female socket contacts must be sourced separately and inserted into the housing positions.

Q: Do these parts require different mating connectors?

A: No. Both housings accept identical mating plug connectors from the Junior Power Timer series. The housing color variation does not affect mating connector compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the different Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) values?

A: The 1-965640-1 lists MSL as 1 (Unlimited), while 1-965640-5 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference reflects data availability rather than functional performance variation. Both parts are suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications without moisture-related handling restrictions.

Q: Can color be changed after assembly?

A: Housing color is an inherent material property and cannot be altered post-manufacture. If color change is required, the alternative part number must be specified during procurement.

Q: Are there any performance differences between Blue and Green housings?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic and identification feature only. Electrical performance, mechanical durability, and regulatory compliance are identical between the two housing colors.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: Both 1-965640-1 and 1-965640-5 share the base product number 965640. The suffix (-1 or -5) designates the specific color variant within the same product family.
