Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0561349100 be used as a direct replacement for the 0561348100?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts in the MicroClasp 56134 series with identical crimp termination, tin finish, and regulatory compliance. The substitute's expanded wire gauge range (22-28 AWG) encompasses the original specification (22-26 AWG).

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the two parts?

A: The 0561348100 accommodates 22-26 AWG wire, while the 0561349100 supports 22-28 AWG. The substitute's broader range includes the original specification, ensuring compatibility with existing designs while permitting use with slightly larger wire gauges if required.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Both parts feature tin contact finish. The 0561349100 specifies a contact finish thickness of 35.4µin (0.90µm), while the 0561348100 does not provide this specification. This additional data does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical handling, storage, and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The 0561349100 is actively produced with 109,880 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable availability for procurement and production planning.
