TE Connectivity 640428-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 640428-5 is a 5-position rectangular receptacle connector from the MTA-156 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 22 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. The connector features tin-lead contact finish, closed-end design, and free-hanging in-line mounting with locking ramp fastening. This part is Active in product status with 1092 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector specifications. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, packaging format changes, or compliance requirement updates.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 640428-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (5)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge (22 AWG)
• Wire type (Discrete or Ribbon Cable)
• Contact finish thickness (80.0µin / 2.03µm)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Features (Closed End)
• Series designation (MTA-156)

The substitute part 3-640428-5 maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. Differences exist only in contact finish material (Tin versus Tin-Lead), packaging format (Bulk versus standard), and compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

640428-5 (Tin-Lead Contact Finish): This part is suitable for applications where tin-lead contact finish is specified or required. The part is RoHS non-compliant and appropriate for legacy systems or applications without RoHS restrictions. Standard packaging is available with 1092 units in current inventory.

3-640428-5 (Tin Contact Finish): This substitute part is suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The tin contact finish meets modern environmental and regulatory standards. Bulk packaging format is available with higher inventory levels (8778 units). This part is functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters.

Both parts are Active in product status and maintain identical connector specifications, pitch, termination method, and wire gauge compatibility. Selection between these parts depends on compliance requirements and contact finish material specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 640428-5 and 3-640428-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 5-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.156"), contact type (Female Socket), IDC termination, 22 AWG wire gauge, and contact finish thickness (80.0µin). Electrical performance and mating characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finish?

A: The main part (640428-5) features tin-lead contact finish and is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part (3-640428-5) features tin contact finish and is RoHS3 compliant. Contact finish thickness remains identical at 80.0µin (2.03µm) for both parts.

Q: Can I use 3-640428-5 in place of 640428-5 in my design?

A: Substitution is valid when RoHS3 compliance is acceptable or required for your application. All mechanical and electrical parameters are identical. Verify that your application does not specifically require tin-lead contact finish material.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part (640428-5) uses standard packaging with 1092 units in stock. The substitute part (3-640428-5) uses bulk packaging with 8778 units in stock. Both contain the same connector specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IDC termination with 22 AWG ribbon cable?

A: Yes. Both parts support IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with discrete or ribbon cable at 22 AWG wire gauge. Mechanical mounting, fastening type (Locking Ramp), and closed-end design are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Are there any REACH or export restrictions on these parts?

A: The main part (640428-5) is REACH Affected. The substitute part (3-640428-5) has Vendor Undefined REACH status. Both parts carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.8000.
