Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 647123-6 and 2-647123-6 is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical dimensions and performance characteristics. Both parts share the same series designation (MTA-156), connector type (Header), contact configuration (6-position, male pin, 0.156" pitch), mounting methodology (through-hole solder termination), and operational ratings (600VAC, -55°C ~ 105°C).

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and compliance status. The 647123-6 is supplied in standard packaging with RoHS non-compliant status, while 2-647123-6 is supplied in bulk packaging with ROHS3 compliance. Additionally, the contact finish differs: 647123-6 features Tin-Lead finish, whereas 2-647123-6 features Tin finish. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications (150.0µin / 3.81µm) and are applied to both mating and post contact surfaces.

Key parameters determining substitution eligibility:

• Connector pitch: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Number of positions: 6
• Contact type: Male pin
• Mounting: Through-hole solder
• Shrouding: 4-wall shrouded
• Voltage rating: 600VAC
• Temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic, glass-filled

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 647123-6 and 2-647123-6 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications requiring a 6-position, 0.156" pitch shrouded header connector with through-hole solder termination.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and packaging needs:

647123-6 is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and standard packaging is preferred. This part features Tin-Lead contact finish.

2-647123-6 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and bulk packaging. This part features Tin contact finish and offers significantly higher inventory availability (2134 pcs versus 633 pcs).

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, dimensional specifications, and operational ratings. The contact finish difference (Tin-Lead versus Tin) does not affect functional compatibility, as both finishes are applied at identical thickness specifications and are suitable for solder termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 647123-6 and 2-647123-6 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically interchangeable. They share identical voltage ratings (600VAC), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C), contact configurations (6-position male pin), and pitch specifications (0.156" / 3.96mm).

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes?

A: The 647123-6 features Tin-Lead contact finish, while 2-647123-6 features Tin contact finish. Both finishes are applied at identical thickness (150.0µin / 3.81µm) to mating and post contacts. Both finishes are compatible with solder termination processes.

Q: Can I use 2-647123-6 as a direct replacement for 647123-6?

A: Yes, 2-647123-6 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for 647123-6. The primary differences are packaging format (bulk versus standard) and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials. The 647123-6 is RoHS non-compliant, while 2-647123-6 is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensional specifications including contact length (mating: 0.300" / 7.62mm, post: 0.125" / 3.18mm), overall contact length (0.550" / 13.97mm), and insulation height (0.525" / 13.34mm).

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, select 2-647123-6. For applications where RoHS compliance is not required, either part is suitable. Both are active products with confirmed inventory availability.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.
