Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 640907-1 with the 3M 94830 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications for the critical parameters that determine functional compatibility: tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge rating (10-12 AWG), gender (Female), termination method (Crimp), insulation type (Non-Mating End Insulated), contact material (Brass), contact finish (Tin), and insulation diameter (0.250"). Both parts are rated for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. The substitute part is manufactured by 3M under the Highland™ series designation and maintains equivalent electrical and mechanical performance characteristics. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating and comply with applicable regulatory standards (RoHS and REACH).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 640907-1 and 3M 94830 are Active product status components with full regulatory compliance. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS3 certification, while the 3M substitute carries RoHS compliance. Both parts meet REACH requirements (TE Connectivity: Vendor Undefined; 3M: REACH Unaffected) and share EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, supply chain requirements, and application-specific compliance mandates. The overall length difference of 0.072" (1.82mm) between the two parts is a minor mechanical variation that does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in standard quick-connect applications. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in equivalent circuit designs and connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 94830 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 640907-1?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for all critical parameters including tab width, tab thickness, wire gauge rating, gender, termination method, insulation type, contact material, and contact finish. The minor difference in overall length (0.072") does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the overall length difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 640907-1 has an overall length of 1.012" (25.70mm), while the 3M 94830 measures 0.940" (23.88mm). This 0.072" (1.82mm) variation is a minor mechanical difference that does not impact electrical performance or mating characteristics in quick-connect applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 640907-1 is RoHS3 compliant. The 3M 94830 is RoHS compliant. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating and meet ECCN EAR99 classification requirements.

Q: What wire gauge range do these connectors support?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 640907-1 and 3M 94830 are rated for 10-12 AWG wire gauges and are designed for crimp termination on conductors within this range.

Q: Are these parts suitable for in-line applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations and are rated for non-mating end insulated applications.

Q: What is the tab width specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.250" (6.35mm) tab width with 0.032" (0.81mm) tab thickness, ensuring compatibility with standard 0.250" quick-connect receptacles.

Q: Do these parts have any special features or design considerations?

A: The 3M 94830 includes a butted seam feature. Both parts use brass contact material with tin finish for reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
