Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 647050-5 with equivalent parts is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (5)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (MTA-100)

The substitute part 3-647050-5 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The primary distinction lies in product status (Active versus Obsolete), packaging configuration (Bulk), contact finish specification (Tin versus Tin-Lead), and compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected versus non-compliant status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 3-647050-5 is functionally equivalent to the 647050-5 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The 647050-5 is designated as obsolete, while 3-647050-5 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the active substitute part ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certifications: The 3-647050-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the 647050-5 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance require the substitute part.

Contact Finish Specification: The 647050-5 features Tin-Lead contact finish on both mating and post surfaces. The 3-647050-5 specifies Tin contact finish. Both maintain identical contact finish thickness specifications (80.0µin mating, 150.0µin post). The Tin finish of the substitute part aligns with contemporary lead-free manufacturing standards.

Packaging and Inventory: The 3-647050-5 is supplied in bulk packaging with 2999 pieces in stock, compared to the 647050-5 with 676 pieces in standard packaging. Bulk availability supports high-volume production requirements.

All other parameters, including connector geometry, electrical ratings, temperature range, and mechanical specifications, are identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in circuit board designs and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 647050-5 and 3-647050-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 250VAC voltage rating, operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, and current rating that varies by wire gauge. The contact material (Copper Alloy), contact finish thickness (80.0µin mating, 150.0µin post), and all electrical performance parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 647050-5 specifies Tin-Lead contact finish on both mating and post surfaces. The 3-647050-5 specifies Tin contact finish. Contact finish thickness remains identical at 80.0µin for mating surfaces and 150.0µin for post surfaces. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solderability for through-hole termination applications.

Q: Can the 3-647050-5 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3-647050-5 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for the 647050-5. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (through-hole), shrouding configuration, and contact geometry are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: Why is the 647050-5 listed as obsolete?

A: The 647050-5 is designated as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 3-647050-5 serves as the active equivalent part for ongoing procurement and new design applications. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer no longer actively produces or supports the original part number.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance on the 3-647050-5?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the 3-647050-5 conforms to Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting the use of lead and other hazardous materials. The 647050-5 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to regulatory requirements, customer specifications, or industry standards mandating RoHS compliance require the 3-647050-5.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 647050-5 is supplied in standard packaging with 676 pieces in stock. The 3-647050-5 is supplied in bulk packaging with 2999 pieces in stock. Bulk packaging supports high-volume production requirements and may offer cost advantages for large-scale manufacturing.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected status mean for the 3-647050-5?

A: REACH Unaffected status indicates the 3-647050-5 is not subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulatory requirements. The 647050-5 lists REACH status as vendor undefined. The 3-647050-5 provides clarity on regulatory compliance for applications requiring REACH documentation.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical specifications including contact length (0.290" mating, 0.135" post, 0.550" overall), insulation height (0.347"), contact shape (square), insulation material (Polyamide PA4T Nylon 4T), and insulation color (black). Physical interchangeability is complete.

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

A: Both the 647050-5 and 3-647050-5 are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Standard storage conditions are suitable for both parts.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications rated for 250VAC?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 250VAC operation. The voltage rating applies to the connector assembly and is suitable for general-purpose applications within this voltage specification.
