TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-967640-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-967640-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Micro Quadlok series. This component functions as a receptacle housing for female socket contacts in free-hanging, in-line applications. The part is currently active in production with 1256 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative configurations—such as housing color—are acceptable for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings in the Micro Quadlok series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (4)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 120°C)

Allowed Variation:

• Housing color (Black vs. Gray) does not affect electrical or mechanical function and is the only parameter that differs between the main part and its substitute.

The substitute part 2-967640-1 maintains identical specifications across all functional parameters while offering an alternative housing color option. Both parts share the same base product number (967640) and series designation (Micro Quadlok), confirming their interchangeability at the functional level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1-967640-1 (Black Housing):

• Primary selection for applications requiring black housing color specification
• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• REACH Unaffected status
• 1256 units currently in stock

Part 2-967640-1 (Gray Housing):

• Functionally equivalent alternative when gray housing is acceptable
• RoHS Compliant certification
• 1897 units currently in stock
• Higher inventory availability

Both parts are active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1) and identical operating temperature specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on housing color requirements and application-specific design constraints. No functional or electrical differences exist between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-967640-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1-967640-1?

A: Yes, part 2-967640-1 is a direct functional equivalent. The only difference is housing color (gray vs. black). All electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are identical. Selection depends on whether housing color is a design requirement.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts are from the same Micro Quadlok series, share identical contact configurations (4 positions, 2 rows), and use the same crimp termination and latch fastening systems. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: Both the main part and substitute are receptacle housings only. Female socket contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing. The housing itself does not include pre-installed contacts.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The main part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while the substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across the range of -40°C to 120°C, making them suitable for industrial and automotive applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-moisture environments?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited moisture tolerance. No special drying or handling procedures are required.

Q: What is the difference between "REACH Unaffected" and "Vendor Undefined" status?

A: The main part (1-967640-1) has confirmed REACH Unaffected status, indicating it does not contain substances of very high concern. The substitute part (2-967640-1) shows Vendor Undefined status for REACH. For applications requiring confirmed REACH compliance documentation, the main part is the specified choice.
