The shrouded wall on one side guides the mating housing into alignment and protects the pins from accidental bending during assembly — a practical detail when the connector is near a board edge or behind a panel cutout. ## Mating and retention in the harness The lock engages audibly when the housing is fully seated; a tug on the wire confirms the pair is mated. Tin is suited for applications with fewer than 25 mating cycles and benign environments — in a corrosive or high-humidity setting, the tin surface can oxidise over time, increasing contact resistance. ## Compliance and sourcing posture No stock-holding claim; the part is procured through independent distribution channels per RFQ.","metaTitle":"640389-6 TE MTA-156 Header 6 Pos 3.96mm Right Angle","metaDescription":"640389-6 TE Connectivity MTA-156 header, 6 positions, 3.96mm pitch, through-hole right angle, friction lock, tin contacts, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"MTA-156","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"MTA-156","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 1 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose, Industrial","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.156\\\" (3.96mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"600VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.300\\\" (7.62mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"640389","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"6","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.125\\\" (3.18mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.400\\\" (10.16mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6700","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.67000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.64800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.52320","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.46322","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.40599","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.35422","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.33723","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/872345f7b9e958cafbfa410077038983.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/640389-6/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 640389-6 in the MTA-156 series?","answer":"Within the MTA-156 series, the 640389-6 is a 6-position right-angle header with a friction lock. A direct pin-compatible alternative would be a 6-position header with the same 3.96mm pitch and through-hole right-angle orientation. If the friction lock is not required, an unshrouded or fully shrouded variant in the same series may fit the same board footprint — confirm the mating housing keying before substituting."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/640389-6","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/640389-6 when reusing this data.
