TE Connectivity 647106-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 647106-5 is a rectangular connector header designed for surface mount applications. This connector is a 5-position, single-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, commonly used in board-to-cable and board-to-wire interconnect applications. The connector features shrouded design with 1 wall, male pin contacts, and solder termination.

The 647106-5 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and design continuity. Direct substitutes with active product status are available within the same MTA-100 series from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 647106-5 is classified as obsolete, necessitating transition to an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing procurement activities.

Primary Substitute: 3-647106-5

The 3-647106-5 is the direct equivalent within the MTA-100 series and is recommended as the primary substitute. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 647106-5 while offering the following advantages:

• Product Status: Active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances
• Regulatory Alignment: REACH Unaffected status maintained
• Packaging: Available in bulk packaging for production environments

Both parts share identical electrical ratings (250VAC, -55°C to 105°C operating range), mechanical dimensions, contact configuration, and material specifications. The contact finish on the post differs slightly (Tin-Lead on 647106-5 versus Tin on 3-647106-5), which does not affect functional compatibility or performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-647106-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 647106-5?

A: Yes. The 3-647106-5 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 647106-5. Both connectors feature identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (5), voltage rating (250VAC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions. The parts are interchangeable in applications where the 647106-5 was originally specified.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 647106-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 3-647106-5 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the 3-647106-5 is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 647106-5 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 3-647106-5 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for production environments. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

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

A: The 647106-5 features Tin-Lead contact finish on both mating and post surfaces. The 3-647106-5 features Tin-Lead on the mating surface and Tin on the post surface. This difference does not impact electrical performance or mating compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Why is the 647106-5 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 3-647106-5 serves as the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement procurement.

Q: Are both parts suitable for surface mount assembly?

A: Yes. Both the 647106-5 and 3-647106-5 are surface mount connectors with solder termination, suitable for automated PCB assembly processes.

Q: What applications are these connectors designed for?

A: Both connectors are classified for general purpose applications. The board-to-cable/wire style and 5-position configuration make them suitable for standard interconnect applications requiring 0.100" pitch spacing.
