Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 640467-3 and the identified substitute 640467-1 is based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch - mating: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation height: 0.580" (14.73mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.155" (3.94mm)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Fastening type: Locking Ramp
• Series: Universal MATE-N-LOK

Differing Parameters (Distinguishing Factors):

• Contact finish - mating: Gold (640467-3) vs. Tin (640467-1)
• Contact finish thickness - mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm) (640467-3) vs. Not specified (640467-1)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0 (640467-3) vs. UL94 V-2 (640467-1)
• RoHS status: RoHS Compliant (640467-3) vs. Not applicable (640467-1)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

640467-3 (Gold Plated, RoHS Compliant): Select this part for applications requiring RoHS compliance and superior corrosion resistance provided by gold-plated mating contacts. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating indicates higher flame resistance. This configuration is suitable for applications with stringent environmental and regulatory requirements.

640467-1 (Tin Plated, Non-RoHS): This substitute part is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required and cost optimization is a consideration. The tin-plated mating contacts provide adequate contact performance for standard industrial applications. The UL94 V-2 flammability rating meets general flame resistance requirements. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Both parts maintain identical operating temperature ranges, insulation materials, and contact geometries, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications where the specified contact finish and compliance requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 640467-1 be used as a direct replacement for 640467-3?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch (0.250"), number of positions (5), mounting type (through hole), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The primary differences are contact finish (gold vs. tin) and compliance ratings (RoHS compliant vs. not applicable). Substitution is mechanically and functionally valid when the application does not require RoHS compliance or gold-plated contact specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 640467-3 features gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin thickness), which provide enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended service life. The 640467-1 uses tin-plated contacts, which are suitable for standard applications but may exhibit higher oxidation rates in corrosive environments. Contact finish selection depends on application environment and reliability requirements.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Yes. Both parts are 5-position headers from the Universal MATE-N-LOK series with identical 0.250" (6.35mm) pitch, contact type (female socket), and fastening type (locking ramp). They accept the same mating male connectors and plugs.

Q: What does the UL94 V-0 vs. UL94 V-2 rating difference mean?

A: UL94 V-0 (640467-3) indicates the insulation material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after flame removal with no flaming drips. UL94 V-2 (640467-1) allows self-extinguishing within 30 seconds with possible flaming drips that do not ignite cotton placed below. V-0 represents higher flame resistance performance.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: 640467-3 has 969 units in stock, while 640467-1 has 3355 units in stock.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are these parts suitable for board-to-board or board-to-cable applications?

A: The 640467-3 is specified for board-to-board or cable applications. The 640467-1 is specified for board-to-cable/wire applications. Both support solder termination to PCBs and are compatible with standard through-hole assembly processes.
