TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 640383-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 640383-9 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 9-position, single-row connector operates at 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and is rated for 600VAC operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The connector features unshrouded male pin contacts with tin finish and is constructed from thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material rated UL94 V-0. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, alternative sourcing requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 640383-9 with the Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 9
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Voltage Rating: 600VAC (substitute also supports 845VDC)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters: Variations exist in contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), insulation material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Polybutylene Terephthalate), contact dimensions, shrouding configuration, and style classification. These differences do not preclude functional substitution in applications where the specified parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 640383-9 and Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S connectors maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on:

TE Connectivity 640383-9: Primary selection for applications requiring board-to-cable/wire connectivity with unshrouded configuration and thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation. Current inventory of 1718 pieces supports immediate availability.

Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S: Alternative selection for applications requiring board-to-board connectivity with push-pull fastening and polybutylene terephthalate insulation. Extended voltage rating to 845VDC provides additional operational flexibility. Current inventory of 1043 pieces available.

Both parts satisfy the core electrical requirements of 600VAC operation, -55°C to 105°C temperature range, and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Substitution is valid where application requirements align with the specified parameters and mechanical form factor differences are accommodated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S directly replace the TE Connectivity 640383-9 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is valid where the application accommodates the mechanical differences. The Samtec part features board-to-board style with push-pull fastening, while the TE Connectivity part is configured for board-to-cable/wire connection. Contact dimensions also differ: Samtec provides 0.450" mating length and 0.175" post length compared to TE Connectivity's 0.400" mating length and 0.125" post length. Verify mechanical clearance and mating interface compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical ratings equivalent between these two connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 600VAC and -55°C to 105°C. The Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S provides additional voltage rating to 845VDC. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 compliance. Current rating specifications differ in documentation; verify wire gauge requirements for your application.

Q: What are the material differences between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 640383-9 uses Copper Alloy contacts with thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation. The Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S uses Phosphor Bronze contacts with polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials are suitable for the specified temperature and voltage ranges. Material selection may impact corrosion resistance and mechanical properties in specific environments.

Q: Do both connectors have the same pitch and position count?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 9 positions in a single row with 0.156" (3.96mm) mating pitch. This dimensional alignment enables substitution where mechanical form factor differences are acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the push-pull fastening on the Samtec part?

A: The Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S includes push-pull fastening, which is not present on the TE Connectivity 640383-9. This feature provides mechanical locking for board-to-board applications. If your application requires board-to-cable/wire connection without fastening, the TE Connectivity part remains the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for industrial applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 640383-9 is specified for general purpose and industrial applications. The Samtec FWJ-09-01-T-S does not list specific applications in the provided data. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability and ROHS3 compliance requirements suitable for industrial environments. Verify application-specific requirements before selection.
