TE Connectivity 3-967616-1 Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 3-967616-1 is a 6-position receptacle housing for the Micro Quadlok connector series. This component serves as the female socket housing in rectangular connector assemblies, designed for crimp-terminated contact applications. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity while maintaining identical functional performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3-967616-1 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.157" / 4.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.138" / 3.50mm spacing)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C)
• Sealed feature requirement
• Series designation (Micro Quadlok)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. The 1-967616-1 satisfies all substitution requirements and is functionally interchangeable with the 3-967616-1 in applications requiring identical connector housing specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3-967616-1 and 1-967616-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Micro Quadlok series. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected designation, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

The 1-967616-1 substitute part demonstrates complete parametric alignment with the 3-967616-1 across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by availability, inventory levels, and supply chain requirements rather than functional or performance differences. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in connector assemblies requiring 6-position receptacle housings with 4.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, sealed design, and crimp termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-967616-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 3-967616-1?

A: Yes. The 1-967616-1 is a parametric equivalent with identical specifications across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both parts are functionally interchangeable in applications requiring 6-position Micro Quadlok receptacle housings.

Q: Are there any differences in connector compatibility between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical pitch (0.157" / 4.00mm), row spacing (0.138" / 3.50mm), and contact configuration. They are compatible with the same mating connectors and contact sets within the Micro Quadlok series.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 3-967616-1 and 1-967616-1 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They carry identical regulatory certifications and are suitable for applications subject to environmental compliance standards.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in their prefix designation (3-967616-1 versus 1-967616-1). This variation reflects different manufacturing or distribution channels within TE Connectivity but does not affect functional performance or specifications.

Q: Are the insulation materials identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling as the insulation material, providing identical thermal and mechanical properties across the operating temperature range of -40°C to 120°C.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are parametric equivalents with identical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same connector assembly without affecting performance or reliability.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
