TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 641210-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 641210-7 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector features a 7-position configuration with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-cable/wire connections in general purpose and industrial applications. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with a 600VAC voltage rating and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

The 641210-7 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity, maintains supply chain reliability, and provides access to active inventory when the original part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 641210-7 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MTA-156 series. The substitution criteria include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (7)
• Pitch spacing (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact dimensions (Mating length 0.400", Post length 0.125")
• Insulation height (0.300")
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (600VAC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct electrical and mechanical equivalents, regardless of product status or packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-641210-7 is a direct functional equivalent to the 641210-7 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical connector specifications, contact configurations, and performance ratings within the MTA-156 series.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

641210-7 (Obsolete): This part carries obsolete status and RoHS non-compliant certification. The contact finish post uses Tin-Lead composition. REACH status is vendor undefined.

3-641210-7 (Active): This part maintains active product status with RoHS compliant certification. The contact finish post uses Tin composition. REACH status is listed as unaffected. Bulk packaging is available with 679 pieces in current inventory.

For new designs or applications requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the 3-641210-7 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where original specifications must be preserved, the 641210-7 remains functionally equivalent where inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 641210-7 and 3-641210-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical voltage ratings (600VAC), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C), and contact specifications. They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: Are the 641210-7 and 3-641210-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including 7-position configuration, 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 1-wall design, and contact dimensions. They mount identically on PCBs and mate with the same connector interfaces.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 641210-7 uses Tin-Lead finish on the post contacts, while the 3-641210-7 uses Tin finish. Both maintain gold plating on mating contacts at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. This difference reflects regulatory compliance evolution and does not affect electrical performance.

Q: Why does the 641210-7 show obsolete status?

A: The 641210-7 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 3-641210-7 represents the active product line continuation within the MTA-156 series, offering equivalent functionality with current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Q: Is the 3-641210-7 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3-641210-7 is RoHS compliant. The 641210-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 3-641210-7 is the required selection.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 3-641210-7 is supplied in bulk packaging with 679 pieces currently in inventory. The 641210-7 packaging specification is not detailed in available documentation.

Q: Can I use the 3-641210-7 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 3-641210-7 functions as a direct replacement for the 641210-7 in all electrical and mechanical applications. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range and maintain the same 600VAC voltage rating. No derating adjustments are necessary when substituting between these parts.
