TE Connectivity 640007-1 Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 640007-1 is a non-insulated ring terminal connector designed for circular stud applications. This component is classified as a crimp-style terminal rated for 14-16 AWG wire gauges with a #10 stud size. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Active substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability and current product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 640007-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 640007-3 maintains identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), contact material (brass), and contact finish (tin) are identical between the main part and substitute.

Mechanical Parameters: Stud size (#10), terminal type (circular ring), overall length (0.873"), outer width (0.375"), thickness (0.030"), and insulation diameter range (0.120" ~ 0.180") are fully matched.

Functional Parameters: Termination method (crimp), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and insulation classification (non-insulated) are equivalent.

Compliance Parameters: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging format (unspecified versus cut tape), with no functional or dimensional variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 640007-3 is the direct functional equivalent of the 640007-1 and is suitable for all applications requiring the 640007-1 specification. Selection of the 640007-3 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 640007-3 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The 640007-1 is classified as obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Specification Equivalence: All electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters are identical between the two parts, confirming direct interchangeability in circuit designs and assembly processes.

Packaging Consideration: The 640007-3 is supplied in cut tape packaging, which is standard for high-volume procurement and automated assembly operations. This represents an operational improvement over the main part's unspecified packaging format.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 640007-3 should be specified in place of the obsolete 640007-1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 640007-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 640007-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 640007-3 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 640007-1 across all specified parameters, including wire gauge rating, stud size, terminal dimensions, contact material, and finish. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 640007-1?

A: The 640007-1 is classified as obsolete. The 640007-3 is the active equivalent part from TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support for future procurement cycles.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status, MSL 1 ratings, ECCN classifications (EAR99), and HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000).

Q: Does the packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (cut tape versus unspecified) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 640007-3 cut tape packaging is standard for automated assembly and high-volume operations.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both parts?

A: Both the 640007-1 and 640007-3 are rated for 14-16 AWG wire gauges with a #10 stud connection.

Q: Are both parts non-insulated terminals?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as non-insulated ring terminals, suitable for applications where the terminal barrel is exposed.

Q: What is the stud size for these terminals?

A: Both parts feature a #10 stud size for circular ring terminal connections.

Q: Can these terminals be used with different stud sizes?

A: No. These terminals are designed exclusively for #10 stud applications. Different stud sizes require different terminal part numbers.
