TE Connectivity 1-965640-6 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-965640-6 is a 6-position receptacle housing connector from the Junior Power Timer series, designed for applications requiring free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp contact termination. This connector features a 5.00mm pitch configuration with 3 rows and latch holder fastening. The part is currently active in production with 752 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when specific color coding requirements differ from the primary specification, when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing, or when application-specific color identification standards must be met while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for the 1-965640-6 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical 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
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Series: Junior Power Timer
• Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Packaging: Bulk
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The only variable parameter among all equivalent parts is the housing color. Substitute parts 1-965640-1 (Blue), 1-965640-3 (Gray), and 1-965640-5 (Green) are functionally and mechanically interchangeable with the primary part 1-965640-6 (Yellow) when color coding is not a functional requirement of the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four connector housing variants are active products with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. The primary distinction among these parts is housing color, which serves identification and circuit organization purposes rather than electrical function.

Selection between 1-965640-6 (Yellow), 1-965640-1 (Blue), 1-965640-3 (Gray), and 1-965640-5 (Green) should be based on application-specific color coding requirements and inventory availability. All parts maintain identical mechanical fit, electrical performance, and termination characteristics.

For applications where REACH compliance documentation is required, parts 1-965640-6 (Yellow) and 1-965640-5 (Green) carry explicit REACH Unaffected status. Part 1-965640-3 (Gray) lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined and should be evaluated against specific regulatory requirements.

Inventory levels support flexible sourcing: 1-965640-5 (Green) offers the highest stock level at 3,718 units, followed by 1-965640-1 (Blue) at 2,226 units, 1-965640-3 (Gray) at 1,555 units, and 1-965640-6 (Yellow) at 752 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all four connector housing variants electrically identical?

A: Yes. The 1-965640-6, 1-965640-1, 1-965640-3, and 1-965640-5 housings are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 6-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, 3-row layout, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. The only difference is housing color.

Q: Can I substitute a different color housing if my original specification calls for yellow (1-965640-6)?

A: Color substitution is permissible only when color coding is not a functional requirement of the circuit design or assembly documentation. If color identification is specified for circuit organization, troubleshooting, or compliance purposes, the original color must be maintained.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: The pitch is 0.197" (5.00mm), representing the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. All substitute parts maintain this identical pitch, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. All variants are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that replacement contacts are compatible with crimp termination and the 5.00mm pitch specification.

Q: What is the row spacing, and how does it affect substitution?

A: Row spacing is 0.217" (5.51mm), representing the distance between the three rows of contact positions. All substitute parts maintain identical row spacing, ensuring compatibility with mating connector geometry and PCB footprints.

Q: Are all variants ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts (1-965640-6, 1-965640-1, 1-965640-3, and 1-965640-5) are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the difference in REACH status between the variants?

A: Parts 1-965640-6 (Yellow) and 1-965640-5 (Green) carry explicit REACH Unaffected status. Part 1-965640-3 (Gray) lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. For applications requiring documented REACH compliance, select parts with explicit REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: What mounting type do these connectors use?

A: All variants use free-hanging in-line mounting, allowing direct connection to cable assemblies or PCB-mounted mating connectors without additional mounting hardware.

Q: How many positions and rows does this connector have?

A: The connector has 6 total positions arranged in 3 rows, with 2 positions per row. This configuration is maintained across all substitute parts.

Q: Which variant has the highest inventory availability?

A: Part 1-965640-5 (Green) has the highest inventory at 3,718 units, followed by 1-965640-1 (Blue) at 2,226 units, 1-965640-3 (Gray) at 1,555 units, and 1-965640-6 (Yellow) at 752 units.
