Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 641124-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC
• Series: MTA-100

The substitute part 3-641124-6 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status classification and regulatory compliance status, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-641124-6 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 641124-6. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, temperature rating, and voltage rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory and availability status. The 641124-6 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status with vendor-undefined REACH compliance. The 3-641124-6 is an active product with RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, indicating full compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

A secondary difference exists in the contact finish applied to the post termination: the main part uses Tin-Lead finish, while the substitute uses Tin finish. This change reflects the transition away from lead-containing materials in modern manufacturing processes and aligns with RoHS compliance requirements.

For new designs, production continuity, or system upgrades, the 3-641124-6 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full functional compatibility while providing access to active inventory, current regulatory compliance, and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 641124-6 and 3-641124-6 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, operating temperature range, and voltage rating. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part uses Tin-Lead finish on the post termination, while the substitute uses Tin finish. This change reflects the elimination of lead-containing materials in accordance with RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability at the specified contact finish thickness of 150.0µin (3.81µm).

Q: Why is the 641124-6 classified as obsolete?

A: The 641124-6 is no longer in active production. The 3-641124-6 has replaced it in the manufacturer's current product line. The substitute part offers the same functionality with improved regulatory compliance and active inventory availability.

Q: What does RoHS Compliant status mean for the 3-641124-6?

A: RoHS Compliant status indicates that the 3-641124-6 meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements, which restrict the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. This is reflected in the Tin-only post finish, eliminating lead content.

Q: Can I use the 3-641124-6 as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 641124-6?

A: Yes. The 3-641124-6 is a direct replacement. No design modifications are required. The connector maintains identical form, fit, and function, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts, mating connectors, and cable assemblies.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 641124-6 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 3-641124-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 641124-6 and 3-641124-6 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in all applications.

Q: What is the current inventory status for these parts?

A: The 641124-6 has 757 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 3-641124-6 has 2654 pieces in stock (active status). For ongoing supply requirements, the 3-641124-6 is the recommended selection due to its active product status and higher inventory availability.
