Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 647016-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Position Count: Both the main part and substitute must be 4-position plug connectors
Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with single-row configuration
Contact Configuration: Male pin contacts with gold finish at 15.0µin thickness
Cable Termination: IDC termination method compatible with 22 AWG wire
Mechanical Interface: Free hanging, in-line and right-angle mounting with latch holder fastening
Electrical & Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part 3-647016-4 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 647016-4 specification while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 3-647016-4 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 647016-4. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 647016-4 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk for ongoing production and field service requirements. The 3-647016-4 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance designation, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, confirming equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, termination method, and wire gauge—are identical between the main part and substitute. The gold contact finish at 15.0µin thickness and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) are preserved.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging is unspecified. This represents a logistical difference without impact on connector functionality or performance.

The 3-647016-4 is a direct functional and mechanical replacement suitable for all applications currently using the 647016-4.
