The latch-lock fastening and full 4-wall shroud protect pins and resist vibration-induced disconnection in harnesses routed inside enclosures or panel-mounted equipment. Style is board-to-cable/wire, meaning it terminates a wire harness to a PCB via the through-hole solder tails. ## Peer alternative: 1318699-3 — higher density, gold contacts The closest functional second-source within the MR family is 1318699-3: 12 positions in 4 rows, same 4.20mm pitch and latch-lock fastening, but with gold-plated mating contacts (3.00µin) instead of tin. The 640500-5 carries 6A per circuit; the 1318699-3 is rated 5A — the gold interface trades a small current reduction for higher mating cycle life and corrosion resistance.","metaTitle":"640500-5 TE Connectivity MR Header, 6 Pos, 4.20mm","metaDescription":"640500-5 TE Connectivity AMP MR series header, 6 positions, 2 rows, 4.20mm pitch, 6A, 250VAC, tin contacts, latch lock, UL94 V-0.
