TE Connectivity 1-965641-3 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-965641-3 is a 6-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Junior Power Timer series. This component is a passive connector housing designed for crimp-terminated tab contacts with a 5.00mm pitch configuration. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing family, allowing for functional interchangeability in applications where the core connector specifications remain constant. Substitution is necessary when primary part availability is limited or when color-coded connector identification is required for circuit assembly and maintenance procedures.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-965641-3 rectangular connector plug housing are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 3
• Row Spacing: 0.217" (5.51mm)
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Tab
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 120°C
• Series: Junior Power Timer

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Housing Color (Gray, Blue, Purple, Green, Yellow, Natural)
• Insulation Material Specification (PA66 Glass Filled or PA Nylon variants)
• Manufacturer Designation (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors or TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors)

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical interface specifications. Substitution is valid across all color variants and material specifications within the Junior Power Timer series, as these parameters do not affect connector functionality or mating compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full functional equivalence to the primary part 1-965641-3 across electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among substitute options is based on the following engineering considerations:

RoHS Compliance Status: Parts 1-965641-1, 1-965641-4, 1-965641-6, and 2-965641-1 carry ROHS3 certification, representing the most current regulatory compliance designation. Parts 1-965641-3 and 1-965641-5 carry RoHS Compliant status. Both designations satisfy RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents updated compliance documentation.

Insulation Material Specification: Parts 1-965641-3, 1-965641-1, 1-965641-4, 1-965641-5, and 1-965641-6 utilize PA66 Nylon 6/6 Glass Filled insulation material. Part 2-965641-1 utilizes PA Nylon insulation without glass filling. Both material specifications operate within the identical temperature range and maintain equivalent electrical performance.

Manufacturer Designation: Parts 1-965641-3 through 1-965641-6 are designated as TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Part 2-965641-1 is designated as TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. Both manufacturer designations represent TE Connectivity product lines with equivalent specifications.

Housing Color Selection: Color variants serve identification and circuit tracing functions in assembly and maintenance operations. Selection of housing color does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Available colors include Gray (1-965641-3), Blue (1-965641-1), Purple (1-965641-4), Green (1-965641-5), Yellow (1-965641-6), and Natural (2-965641-1).

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are: 1-965641-1 (5600 pcs), 1-965641-5 (5478 pcs), 1-965641-6 (3662 pcs), 2-965641-1 (3837 pcs), 1-965641-4 (2597 pcs), and 1-965641-3 (1092 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 1-965641-1 (Blue) for 1-965641-3 (Gray) in my assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 6-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, 3-row layout, crimp termination, and operating temperature range. The housing color difference does not affect connector functionality or mating compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the PA66 Glass Filled material in 1-965641-3 and the PA Nylon material in 2-965641-1?

A: Both materials operate within the identical -40°C to 120°C temperature range and maintain equivalent electrical performance. The glass-filled variant provides enhanced mechanical rigidity, while the unfilled variant offers standard performance. Selection depends on application-specific mechanical requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both designations satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements. ROHS3 represents updated compliance documentation.

Q: Can I use 2-965641-1 (TE Connectivity Deutsch) as a substitute for 1-965641-3 (TE Connectivity AMP)?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The manufacturer designation difference reflects product line organization within TE Connectivity and does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. All parts in this family, including the primary part 1-965641-3 and all substitutes, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as crimp-terminated tab contacts compatible with the 5.00mm pitch specification.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for 1-965641-3?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence across the following parameters: 6-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 3-row layout with 0.217" (5.51mm) row spacing, plug connector type, tab contact type, crimp termination, free hanging in-line mounting, and -40°C to 120°C operating temperature range. Housing color, insulation material specification, and manufacturer designation do not affect substitution validity.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why is it important?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture absorption concerns. This classification eliminates bake-out requirements prior to assembly and simplifies inventory management.

Q: Can I mix different colored housings in the same connector assembly?

A: Yes. All color variants maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical specifications. Color selection is determined by application requirements for circuit identification and traceability.
