TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 641922-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 641922-3 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded, single-wall connector accommodates 8 positions at 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and is configured for board-to-cable/wire connections with solder termination and friction lock fastening. The connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is rated for 600VAC applications in general purpose and industrial environments. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to address supply chain flexibility, inventory optimization, and design standardization across manufacturing facilities.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 641922-3 with the Molex 0026604080 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch - Mating: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8536.69.4040

Both connectors are rectangular connectors in the same product category with identical mating pitch, position count, and functional configuration. The Molex part is classified as active and maintains full compliance with regulatory requirements equivalent to the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 641922-3 and Molex 0026604080 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism, establishing functional equivalence for rectangular connector applications.

The Molex 0026604080 exhibits slightly larger contact dimensions (mating contact length 0.450" versus 0.400", post length 0.140" versus 0.125") and marginally increased insulation height (0.446" versus 0.425"). These dimensional variations remain within the tolerance envelope for standard through-hole header applications and do not preclude direct substitution in board-to-cable/wire configurations.

Both parts maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and identical export control classifications (EAR99), supporting equivalent supply chain and regulatory treatment. Selection between these parts is determined by inventory availability, lead time requirements, and design-specific dimensional constraints within the application circuit board layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether the Molex 0026604080 can substitute for the TE Connectivity 641922-3?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (8), mating pitch (0.156"), row configuration (1), mounting method (through hole), shrouding style (shrouded 1-wall), termination type (solder), fastening mechanism (friction lock), and contact geometry (square). Both parts satisfy these criteria.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The Molex part has slightly longer contact dimensions: mating contact length is 0.450" compared to 0.400" on the TE part, and post length is 0.140" versus 0.125". Insulation height is also marginally higher at 0.446" versus 0.425". These differences are minor and do not affect standard through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Both maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, while the Molex part uses polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials are glass-filled and support the same flammability rating.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The connectors are functionally equivalent for board-to-cable/wire applications with identical mating pitch and position configuration. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height require verification against specific printed circuit board layout constraints and mating connector specifications before implementation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 641922-3 has 1564 pieces in stock. The Molex 0026604080 has 3965 pieces in stock, providing greater availability for immediate procurement.
