3-640863-9

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The 3-640863-9 is a single-edge female card edge connector from the MTA-156 series by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features 9 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with tin plating and utilize IDC termination for panel mounting. The insulating body is constructed from blue thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -55°C and 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• IDC termination method facilitates rapid assembly without soldering
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability and environmental resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '9' to confirm the nine-position count and tin-plated finish. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and mating card dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration into regulated supply chains.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, non-soldered connection is required for high-density applications. The IDC interface suits environments where thermal stress from soldering must be avoided. Verify that the 0.156-inch pitch aligns with existing board layout constraints and mating hardware specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the MTA-156 series, designed for robust connectivity in demanding industrial settings. The series utilizes press-fit or IDC technologies to ensure consistent electrical performance across various electronic assemblies requiring durable signal paths.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MTA-156 series variants for alternative position counts. Verify identical pitch and termination style before substituting with generic equivalents to maintain mechanical fit.
