TE Connectivity 647480-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 647480-6 is a 6-position rectangular receptacle connector from the MTA-100 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 26 AWG discrete or ribbon cable. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts, a locking ramp fastening mechanism, and feed-through capability in a blue housing.

The 647480-6 is classified as obsolete. Locating active equivalent parts is necessary to ensure continued availability, supply chain reliability, and access to current manufacturing support for new designs or replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 647480-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MTA-100 connector series. The substitute part must satisfy all of the following criteria:

• Same connector type: Rectangular receptacle
• Identical position count: 6 positions
• Matching pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical contact type: Female socket
• Same cable termination method: IDC
• Matching wire gauge: 26 AWG
• Equivalent contact finish: Gold plating
• Same mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line), right angle
• Identical fastening mechanism: Locking ramp
• Same series designation: MTA-100

The substitute part 3-647480-6 meets all these parameters and is classified as active, providing a direct functional and mechanical replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 3-647480-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 647480-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity and belong to the MTA-100 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The 3-647480-6 is classified as active, ensuring current manufacturing support and supply chain availability. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.8000). The MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) applies to both parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Selection of the 3-647480-6 for new designs or replacement applications eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility with existing connector interfaces and cable assemblies designed for the 647480-6.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-647480-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 647480-6 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 3-647480-6 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 647480-6. Both connectors have the same 6-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, IDC termination method, 26 AWG wire gauge rating, gold contact finish, and locking ramp fastening. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 647480-6 is obsolete, while the 3-647480-6 is active. The 3-647480-6 represents the current production equivalent with ongoing manufacturing support from TE Connectivity.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant, carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99), and share identical HTSUS codes. Both have MSL rating 1 (unlimited), requiring no special moisture control measures.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 647480-6 packaging specification is not defined in the available data. The 3-647480-6 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Can these connectors be used with both discrete and ribbon cable?

A: Yes. Both the 647480-6 and 3-647480-6 support discrete or ribbon cable termination via IDC at 26 AWG wire gauge.

Q: What is the feed-through feature?

A: The feed-through feature allows the connector to pass signals or power through the connector body while maintaining the 6-position connection interface.
