Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 641219-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Series: Must be rectangular receptacle connector from MTA-156 series
  • Position Count: Must be 2-position configuration
  • Contact Configuration: Must be female socket contacts
  • Pitch Specification: Must maintain 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch
  • Termination Method: Must support IDC termination
  • Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 22 AWG wire
  • Contact Finish: Must be gold-plated
  • Mounting & Fastening: Must be free-hanging in-line with locking ramp fastening

The substitute part 3-641219-2 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.
