TE Connectivity 7-Way 2.54mm Pitch Shrouded Female IDC Connector for Cable, 1 Row, 5A, 250V AC, Tin over Nickel 3-640442-7

TE Connectivity 3-640442-7 7-Way Female IDC Connector for Cable with a 2.54mm pitch, designed for robust mass termination of wires using insulation displacement contact technology. It provides a secure, reliable connection in various industrial, automotive, and electronic applications. The shrouded design and nylon housing with moulded ribs prevent incorrect mating and enhance durability.

The connector supports a current rating of 5A and operates safely at voltages up to 250V AC. Its tin over nickel plated copper contacts are lubricated to reduce fretting corrosion, further improving longevity and electrical performance. This model offers a right angle orientation that aids efficient cable management within assemblies.

The termination type is IDC, enabling quick one-step assembly without the need to strip wires, saving time and labor costs. The connector's operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 105°C, making it suitable for demanding environments including automotive body and chassis systems, safety systems, and various consumer electronics such as desktop PCs, notebooks, servers, and storage devices.

The design incorporates a friction lock mechanism for secure mating and end-to-end stackability. Molded ribs and optional polarizing tabs help prevent reverse or misaligned connections, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.

Designed with 7 contacts in 1 row to support diverse cabling needs. 5A current carrying capacity for medium power applications. 250V AC voltage rating compatible with most electrical systems. Copper contacts plated with tin over nickel prevent corrosion and ensure conductivity.

Nylon housing and moulded ribs enhance mechanical strength and prevent reverse mating. IDC termination enables quick, tool-less wire assembly without stripping insulation. Right angle orientation assists with compact cable layouts.

Wide operating temperature (-55°C to 105°C) suitable for industrial and automotive use. Friction lock mechanism ensures secure and stable mating connection. Broad industrial applications including automotive, computer hardware, and consumer electronics.
