Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 647008-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series designation (MTA-100)
• Number of positions (9)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Connector type (Plug with male pins)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (22 AWG)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating at 30.0µin)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line, Right Angle)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Closed-end design

The substitute part 3-647008-9 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute transitions from obsolete to active production status, enabling continued component availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 3-647008-9 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 647008-9. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Consideration: The main part 647008-9 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued production and limited long-term availability. The substitute 3-647008-9 maintains active production status, ensuring reliable procurement for current and future applications.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance certification and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental and reliability standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All specified electrical parameters (contact finish, wire gauge, pitch, number of positions) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, fastening mechanism, connector configuration) are identical between the main part and substitute.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. This distinction does not affect functional or electrical compatibility.

For applications currently utilizing 647008-9, direct substitution with 3-647008-9 is supported without modification to connector interfaces, mating components, or cable termination procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-647008-9 be used as a direct replacement for 647008-9 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part 3-647008-9 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. No modifications to mating connectors, cable assemblies, or installation procedures are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The main part 647008-9 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The substitute 3-647008-9 is an active production part from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued component availability.

Q: Are there differences in contact quality or durability between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts specify identical gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, identical male pin contact type, and identical RoHS compliance status. Contact quality and durability specifications are equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The packaging difference (bulk for the substitute versus the main part's unspecified packaging) does not affect the connector's electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional operation. Packaging is a supply-chain consideration only.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IDC termination with 22 AWG cable?

A: Yes. Both parts specify IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination and 22 AWG wire gauge compatibility. Cable termination procedures and specifications are identical.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and does it affect compatibility?

A: Both parts specify 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This pitch specification determines spacing between contact positions and is identical for both parts, ensuring full mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and cable assemblies.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity classification and storage requirements.
