TE Connectivity 641190-9 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 641190-9 is a 9-position rectangular receptacle connector from the MTA-100 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 22 AWG wire. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts, a closed-end design, and supports both discrete and ribbon cable configurations. The part is currently active in production with 801 pieces in stock.

Substitute parts are identified to address specific application requirements, including compliance certifications, packaging formats, and inventory availability while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 641190-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (9)
Pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Number of rows (1)
Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line, Right Angle)
Cable termination method (IDC)
Wire gauge (22 AWG)
Contact finish (Gold)
Contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm)
Features (Closed End)
Color (Red)
Series (MTA-100)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in packaging format, RoHS compliance status, or REACH classification do not affect functional or mechanical compatibility and are therefore permissible substitution criteria.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

641190-9 (Primary Part Number)

Select this part number when standard packaging is required and RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application. This variant is suitable for legacy systems or applications without RoHS mandates.

3-641190-9 (Substitute Part Number)

Select this part number when ROHS3 compliance is required or when bulk packaging is preferred. This variant is functionally and mechanically identical to the primary part number and is suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or when REACH compliance documentation is necessary. The higher inventory level (853 pieces) may provide supply chain advantages.

Both part numbers are active products from TE Connectivity and are fully interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Selection between them is determined by compliance requirements and packaging preferences specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 641190-9 and 3-641190-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 9-position rectangular receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications, including gold contact finish, 22 AWG wire gauge, IDC termination, and 0.100" pitch. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and compliance certifications. The 641190-9 uses standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The 3-641190-9 uses bulk packaging and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 3-641190-9 as a direct replacement for 641190-9?

A: Yes. The 3-641190-9 is a direct substitute. It maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications. If your application requires RoHS3 compliance, the 3-641190-9 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of 3-641190-9 affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk packaging is a logistics consideration only and does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors are specified for 22 AWG wire. This specification applies to both discrete and ribbon cable configurations.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for ribbon cable applications?

A: Yes. Both the 641190-9 and 3-641190-9 support discrete or ribbon cable termination via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The pitch is 0.100 inches (2.54 millimeters) between contact positions. This is the standard MTA-100 series pitch.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: Both connectors have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
