The through-hole solder tails are tin-plated, matching the tin-on-tin contact interface that suits moderate mating-cycle duty in indoor equipment. The 0.100\" pitch sets the PCB footprint: a 5-position single-row header needs five through-holes on 2.54mm centers, with the 0.140\" (3.56mm) post length designed for standard 1.6mm-thick boards. The shrouded-1 wall on the header guides the receptacle alignment but leaves three sides exposed; in high-vibration environments, the friction lock alone may not prevent back-out without additional strain relief on the cable. For a harness that mates once during assembly and stays mated, the tin-on-tin interface is adequate and cost-effective. ## Peer Comparison: 640456-5 vs 1-292164-1 The closest functional peer is the 1-292164-1, an 11-position CT series header with a 0.079\" (2.00mm) pitch and a shrouded-4 wall design. The 640456-5 carries 5 positions at 2.54mm pitch with a single-wall shroud; the 1-292164-1 offers more circuits in a denser footprint but uses a detent lock instead of a friction lock. Both are active, tin-on-tin, through-hole headers for board-to-cable duty, but they are not pin-compatible — different pitch and position count require a board layout change.","metaTitle":"640456-5 TE Connectivity MTA-100 Header 5 Pos 2.54mm","metaDescription":"640456-5 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors MTA-100 header, 5 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded-1 wall, friction lock, tin contacts, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"MTA-100","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"MTA-100","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 1 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.305\\\" (7.75mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"640456","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"5","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.140\\\" (3.56mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"0.535\\\" (13.59mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.295\\\" (7.49mm)","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":"$0.3100","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.31000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.26900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.24480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.19006","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.17664","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.15652","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.13863","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/6371c0f66489dc7df4d1540364538632.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/640456-5/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 640456-5 and what is the lead time?","answer":"The 640456-5 is sourced to order through independent distribution.
