Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 647480-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (4)
• Wire gauge compatibility (26 AWG)
• Contact finish specification (Gold at 15.0µin thickness)
• Cable termination method (IDC)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line, Right Angle)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)

Series Compatibility:

• MTA-100 series designation

Substitute parts must maintain identical specifications across all listed parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility in existing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-647480-4 is a direct functional equivalent to the 647480-4 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Product Status Consideration: The 647480-4 is classified as obsolete, while the 3-647480-4 maintains active product status. For new designs, maintenance applications, and long-term supply chain planning, the 3-647480-4 is the appropriate selection.

Regulatory Compliance: The 3-647480-4 is RoHS compliant, whereas the 647480-4 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must utilize the 3-647480-4.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the MTA-100 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 3-647480-4 provides direct substitution capability for the obsolete 647480-4 without design modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
