TE Connectivity 647001-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 647001-5 is a 5-position rectangular plug connector from the MTA-100 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 24 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. This connector features tin-lead contact finish and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant classification, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and new procurement activities.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 647001-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (5)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (24 AWG)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line, Right Angle)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Wire type support (Discrete or Ribbon Cable)
• Closed end feature
• Contact finish thickness (80.0µin / 2.03µm)
• Series designation (MTA-100)

The substitute part 3-647001-5 maintains full equivalence across all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the contact finish material (tin-lead versus tin) and the product status classification (obsolete versus active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 3-647001-5 is a direct functional equivalent to the TE Connectivity 647001-5 across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and product lifecycle considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance: The 3-647001-5 substitute part is RoHS compliant and carries active product status, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.

For legacy system maintenance: The 647001-5 original part remains available in inventory (980 pieces) for direct replacement in existing installations where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

Contact finish consideration: The 647001-5 features tin-lead contact finish, while the 3-647001-5 substitute features tin contact finish. Both maintain identical contact finish thickness (80.0µin / 2.03µm) and are functionally equivalent for IDC termination applications with 24 AWG cable.

Inventory and availability: The 3-647001-5 substitute part is currently in active production status with 646 pieces in stock, providing supply chain continuity for ongoing procurement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 647001-5 and 3-647001-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically interchangeable. They share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (5), mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line, Right Angle), and fastening mechanism (Latch Holder). Both accept 24 AWG discrete or ribbon cable via IDC termination.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finish in these connectors?

A: The 647001-5 features tin-lead contact finish, while the 3-647001-5 substitute features tin contact finish. Both maintain the same contact finish thickness (80.0µin / 2.03µm). The contact finish material does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for IDC termination applications.

Q: Why is the 647001-5 classified as obsolete?

A: The 647001-5 is classified as obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status. The 3-647001-5 represents the current active equivalent that meets RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Can I use the 3-647001-5 as a direct replacement in existing designs using 647001-5?

A: Yes. The 3-647001-5 is a direct substitute with full mechanical and electrical equivalence. The primary advantage is RoHS compliance and active product status for ongoing supply chain support.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 647001-5 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 3-647001-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are functionally identical; packaging differences do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the 647001-5 and 3-647001-5 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts suitable for ribbon cable applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors support discrete or ribbon cable termination via IDC method at 24 AWG wire gauge. The closed-end feature and latch holder fastening are compatible with standard ribbon cable configurations.
