Product details

6-position, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch — BOM-fit anchor

The 640500-5 is a 6-position, 2-row shrouded header from TE's MR (Miniature Rectangular) series, on a 4.20mm pitch. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I substitute 1318699-3 for the 640500-5 in the same panel cutout?

Only if the harness accommodates the 12-position count — the 1318699-3 shares the same 0.165-inch pitch, shroud, latch-lock, and through-hole style but doubles the circuit count across a wider header, so it does not fit a board routed for 6 positions without re-layout.

What series does the 640500-5 belong to?

It is part of the AMP MR (Miniature Rectangular) series — a dual-row, latch-lock, four-wall-shrouded header family rated for board-to-cable general-purpose interconnects.
