TE Connectivity 640622-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 640622-5 is a 5-position rectangular receptacle connector from the MTA-100 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 26 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. This connector features tin-lead contact finish and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for ongoing production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 640622-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: MTA-100
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Wire Gauge: 26 AWG
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Features: Feed Through

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Finish: Tin-Lead to Tin (both provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the MTA-100 series specification)
• Product Status: Obsolete to Active (substitution driven by availability and compliance requirements)
• RoHS Compliance: Non-compliant to ROHS3 Compliant (represents regulatory evolution)

The substitute part 3-640622-5 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 640622-5 while offering improved regulatory compliance and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: The 3-640622-5 is the recommended selection for all new applications. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 640622-5 while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The transition from tin-lead to tin contact finish does not compromise performance within the MTA-100 series specification envelope.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 3-640622-5 provides direct functional substitution for field service and repair of systems originally designed with the 640622-5. The identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and IDC termination method ensure seamless integration into existing assemblies.

Compliance Considerations: The 640622-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 3-640622-5 meets ROHS3 requirements. Organizations subject to RoHS regulations or customer-mandated compliance requirements must transition to the 3-640622-5.

Inventory Management: The 3-640622-5 is currently in active production with 785 pieces in stock, compared to 762 pieces of the obsolete 640622-5. Procurement should prioritize the 3-640622-5 to ensure long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-640622-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 640622-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3-640622-5 is a direct substitute with identical connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, mounting method, and cable termination specifications. The only differences are contact finish material (tin versus tin-lead) and regulatory compliance status, neither of which affects mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes in the MTA-100 series?

A: Both tin-lead (640622-5) and tin (3-640622-5) finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical performance within the MTA-100 series specification. The transition to tin reflects industry-wide adoption of lead-free materials driven by RoHS regulations.

Q: Why is the 640622-5 listed as obsolete?

A: The 640622-5 has been superseded by the 3-640622-5, which offers improved regulatory compliance and active manufacturing status. TE Connectivity has transitioned production to the newer part number.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the 640622-5 and 3-640622-5?

A: The 640622-5 packaging information is not specified in the available data. The 3-640622-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. Contact the manufacturer for specific packaging requirements for the original part.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both the 640622-5 and 3-640622-5 carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these connectors be used with both discrete and ribbon cable?

A: Yes. Both the 640622-5 and 3-640622-5 support discrete or ribbon cable termination via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) method at 26 AWG wire gauge.

Q: What mounting configurations are available?

A: Both connectors support Free Hanging (In-Line) and Right Angle mounting types with locking ramp fastening, providing flexibility for various PCB layout requirements.
