1241637-3

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1241637-3 is a horizontal, wire-to-board connector header belonging to the MQS series. It features a 6-position, 2-row configuration with a 4mm (.157in) centerline pitch. The component utilizes tin (Sn) contact plating and is designed for printed circuit board mounting. It supports a maximum contact current rating of 7.5A and is intended for signal applications.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal wire-to-board design for PCB integration
• Dual-row 6-position architecture
• Tin-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Signal interconnection in automotive systems
• Wire-to-board connections in electronic assemblies
• General industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 1241637-3 to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and mating partner compatibility. Ensure the selected housing matches the MQS 0.63mm sealed system requirements if environmental sealing is necessary. Cross-reference terminal part numbers to guarantee proper crimping and electrical performance within the specified current ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, dual-row header is required for signal routing on a PCB. The 4mm pitch allows for dense packing while maintaining adequate spacing. Consider the 7.5A current rating for load management. Verify that the tin plating meets the corrosion resistance needs of the operating environment compared to gold options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MQS Automotive Headers family from TE Connectivity. The MQS series is engineered for high-density applications in automotive and industrial sectors. It typically pairs with corresponding terminals and housings to form complete connector systems. The design emphasizes reliability and ease of assembly in constrained spaces.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic pin-compatible headers may not match the specific MQS locking mechanism or current rating specifications.
