1-640385-0

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-640385-0 is a rectangular connector header belonging to the MTA-156 series. It features a right-angle board-to-cable/wire style with ten positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole termination for mounting on printed circuit boards. Male pins are constructed from copper alloy with tin plating on both the mating and post sections. The housing is made of thermoplastic glass-filled material, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability, and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. It supports a maximum voltage of 600VAC.
