TE Connectivity 640905-2 Quick Connect Female Crimp Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 640905-2 is a 0.250" (6.35mm) Quick Connect Female crimp connector designed for 14-16 AWG wire applications. This terminal features non-mating end insulation and is part of the Faston and PIDG series connector families. The component is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when packaging configurations differ while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, or when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TE Connectivity 640905-2 and 640905-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters Determining Substitutability:

• Tab width: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Tab thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm)
• Wire gauge compatibility: 14-16 AWG
• Contact material and finish: Brass with tin plating
• Insulation configuration: Non-mating end insulated
• Termination method: Crimp
• Series classification: Faston and PIDG

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration. The 640905-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the 640905-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (640905) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. This packaging difference does not affect the terminal's electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between TE Connectivity 640905-2 and 640905-1 is determined by packaging and inventory requirements rather than functional performance. Both parts are active products with full compliance certifications.

640905-2 (Cut Tape Packaging): Suitable for applications requiring controlled component dispensing, automated assembly processes, or smaller quantity requirements. Current inventory: 1,269 pieces.

640905-1 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for high-volume manufacturing operations, bulk component storage, or applications with large quantity demands. Current inventory: 1,000,200 pieces.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The 640905-2 carries RoHS3 certification, while the 640905-1 carries RoHS compliance designation. Both are classified as active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and packaging format compatibility with existing manufacturing workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 640905-2 and 640905-1 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications, including contact material (brass with tin finish), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), and termination method (crimp). They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the only difference between these two parts?

A: The packaging format. The 640905-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration, while the 640905-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This difference affects handling and dispensing methods but not component performance.

Q: Can I use 640905-1 in place of 640905-2 in my assembly process?

A: Compatibility depends on your assembly equipment and process requirements. If your equipment is configured for bulk component feeding, 640905-1 is suitable. If your process requires cut tape format, 640905-2 is required. The terminal itself functions identically in both cases.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 640905-2 is RoHS3 compliant, and the 640905-1 is RoHS compliant. Both meet environmental compliance standards for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 14-16 AWG wire. This specification is identical across both part numbers.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), tab length (0.305"), overall length (0.900"), and insulation diameter (0.170") are identical for both parts.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production?

A: The 640905-1 in bulk packaging is optimized for high-volume applications due to larger available inventory (1,000,200 pieces) and bulk dispensing compatibility with automated assembly systems.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with other Faston series terminals?

A: Only with terminals sharing identical tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), and wire gauge (14-16 AWG) specifications. Verify all mechanical and electrical parameters before substitution.
