Product details

Six positions, one row — BOM-fit check

With 6 positions loaded (all positions filled), this header matches a 6-circuit MTA-156 receptacle.

Tin plating and current rating — what to expect

Tin on both the mating contact and the solder tail is standard for cost-sensitive, moderate-use interconnects. Tin-plated contacts are rated for fewer mating cycles than gold — typically 25–50 cycles before fretting corrosion becomes a concern in vibration-heavy environments. For a 20 AWG wire, expect around 5–6 A per circuit at a 30 °C temperature rise; the header's tin surface will carry that without issue as long as the mated contact resistance stays below 10 mOhm.

Frequently asked questions

Can 640383-6 be used with MTA-156 receptacles?

Yes. The 0.156" (3.96 mm) pitch and 6-position layout match the standard MTA-156 receptacle footprint.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 640383-6?

No official pin-compatible alternative is listed on the record. The 640383-6 is a standard MTA-156 header; any 6-position, 3.96 mm pitch, unshrouded header from the same series would be a functional match, but cross-reference verification against the specific receptacle and board layout is recommended before substitution.
