The 641976-2 is the 15-circuit member of TE's Universal MATE-N-LOK header line, a shrouded triple-row board-to-cable/wire header on a 0.250" pitch. Rated 12A per circuit at 600VAC with gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin) over phosphor bronze, the header suits power distribution inside equipment enclosures where the UL94 V-0 polyamide housing and locking ramp hold the mated pair under vibration.
The 641976-2 is listed as a Universal MATE-N-LOK series connector in the Board to Cable/Wire style, which means it is a shrouded multi-row male header designed to mate with the matching MATE-N-LOK plug housing in harness-to-board power applications.
The mating face carries gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) while the solder tails are tin-lead — the gold mating finish, combined with the shrouding and locking ramp, gives this header reasonable reconnection cycle durability for industrial environments where a harness plug is mated and unmated during service.
The 641976-2 is rated 600VAC and 12 A per circuit — placing it in the mid-range power tier of the Universal MATE-N-LOK family, suitable for moderate power distribution rather than high-current bus applications.
The housing is rated UL94 V-0, meeting the standard flammability requirement for industrial and appliance panel connectors — a material qualification often specified in those environments.
