1-640384-2

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The 1-640384-2 is a vertical pin header connector from the MTA-156 series, manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features a 4-position configuration with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. Designed for through-hole mounting and solder termination, it utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating on both the post and mating surfaces. The housing is made of glass-filled thermoplastic in a natural color, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. It supports a maximum voltage of 600VAC and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical wire-to-board design for reliable PCB mounting
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts ensure stable electrical conductivity
• Glass-filled thermoplastic insulation provides structural integrity and flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General industrial equipment interconnections
• Consumer electronics circuit boards
• Control panel wiring harnesses

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required four-position configuration and vertical orientation. Confirm that the through-hole soldering process aligns with your assembly capabilities. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -55°C to 105°C temperature range to maintain performance reliability.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row header is required for board-to-wire connections. The 3.96mm pitch accommodates standard wire gauges effectively. Consider the natural insulation color for visual identification if needed. This model is suitable for applications requiring robust mechanical stability and consistent signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This connector belongs to the MTA-156 series, a widely used family of rectangular connectors known for their versatility in various electronic assemblies. The series offers multiple position counts and termination styles to suit different design constraints. As an AMP product, it adheres to established quality standards for durability and electrical performance in commercial and industrial sectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 4-position headers with identical 3.96mm pitch and vertical mounting style. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 600VAC rating and through-hole termination method. Cross-reference dimensions to ensure physical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
