640456-4

The part number 640456-4 corresponds to a connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity. Connector housings are components used to house and protect electrical connectors, ensuring proper alignment of contacts and providing mechanical support.

Key Features:

• Connector Housing: The 640456-4 is a connector housing designed to accommodate electrical contacts or terminals, typically used in wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connector assemblies.

• Number of Positions: The part number may indicate the number of positions or cavities available in the connector housing, specifying how many contacts or terminals it can accommodate.

• Pitch: The pitch of the connector housing refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent contact positions. It determines the compatibility with mating connectors or terminals.

• Mounting Type: Specifies how the connector housing is mounted or attached to a surface or panel, such as through-hole mounting, surface mounting, or panel mounting options.

• Termination Type: Indicates how wires or cables are terminated to the connector housing, such as crimping, soldering, or insulation displacement connection (IDC).

• Housing Material: The material used for the connector housing, which can vary based on factors such as application requirements, environmental conditions, and compliance standards.

• Locking Mechanism: Some connector housings feature locking mechanisms or retention features to secure mating connectors in place and prevent accidental disconnection.

• Color: Connector housings are often available in different colors for identification and aesthetic purposes.

Applications:

• Wire-to-Board Connections: Used in applications where wires or cables need to be connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) or other electronic devices.
• Wire-to-Wire Connections: Employed in wire-to-wire connector assemblies for joining multiple wires or cables together.
• Electrical Interconnect Systems: Integrated into various electrical interconnect systems and harnesses for signal, power, and data transmission.
• Automotive Electronics: Found in automotive wiring harnesses and electrical systems for connecting sensors, switches, lights, and other components.
• Industrial Machinery: Utilized in industrial equipment and machinery for electrical connections in control panels, sensors, actuators, and motors.
• Telecommunications: Deployed in telecommunications equipment and networking devices for signal transmission and connectivity.
