The 1-640388-2: The housing is shrouded on one wall and uses a friction lock to secure the mating receptacle, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection under vibration.
The single-wall shroud guides the receptacle into alignment during mating and provides basic polarization — it won't prevent a wrong-side insertion, but it keeps the pins from bending on a straight mate.
We source 1-640388-2 through independent distribution channels against your BOM quantity.
Yes, the 1-640388-2 header is designed to mate with MTA-156 receptacles — same 3.96mm pitch and friction-lock system. Verify the receptacle order code against your assembly drawing.
