TE Connectivity 641214-5 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 641214-5 is a shrouded right-angle rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This MTA-100 series connector features 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts and gold-plated mating surfaces. The connector is rated for 250VAC operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring reliable solder termination.

The primary reason for identifying substitute parts is to address component availability, packaging requirements, and compliance specifications. Alternative part numbers within the same series provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance while offering different packaging configurations or regulatory compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 641214-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (5)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact length - mating (0.295" / 7.49mm)
• Contact length - post (0.140" / 3.56mm)
• Insulation height (0.225" / 5.72mm)
• Termination method (Solder)

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (MTA-100)
• Base product number (641214)

The substitute part 3-641214-5 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in packaging configuration and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 641214-5 and 3-641214-5 are active products from the same manufacturer and series, providing complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability for board-to-cable/wire connector applications.

641214-5 Selection Criteria:

• Standard packaging configuration
• Suitable for applications without RoHS compliance requirements
• Vendor-defined REACH status

3-641214-5 Selection Criteria:

• Bulk packaging configuration
• RoHS compliant for applications requiring lead-free and restricted substance compliance
• REACH unaffected status for regulatory clarity
• Higher inventory availability (1146 pcs vs. 798 pcs)

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (250VAC, -55°C to 105°C operating range), mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 641214-5 and 3-641214-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact types (male pin), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), voltage rating (250VAC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and contact specifications (gold plating, 30.0µin thickness). They are fully electrically interchangeable.

Q: Are the 641214-5 and 3-641214-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding configuration (shrouded - 1 wall), contact lengths (mating: 0.295", post: 0.140"), insulation height (0.225"), and termination method (solder). They are fully mechanically interchangeable.
