Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector socket contacts within the AMPMODU Short Point series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Contact type (Socket)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Wire gauge range (22-26 AWG)
• Contact finish material (Gold)
• Contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Short Point)
• Packaging format (Cut Tape)

The substitute part 1-104480-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all substitution-determining parameters. Differences in RoHS compliance status and REACH classification do not affect functional interchangeability but may influence suitability for specific regulatory environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

104480-3 Selection Criteria: The 104480-3 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material sourcing is permissible. This part is currently in higher inventory availability (11,226 pieces) and maintains Active product status.

1-104480-2 Selection Criteria: The 1-104480-2 is the preferred substitute for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material sourcing. This part is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for European Union markets and applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The part maintains Active product status with 5,300 pieces in inventory.

Both parts are functionally equivalent for crimp termination of 22-26 AWG wire in AMPMODU Short Point rectangular connector assemblies. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements of the target application and geographic market restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104480-3 and 1-104480-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact termination (crimp), wire gauge range (22-26 AWG), contact finish (gold at 15.0µin thickness), and series designation (AMPMODU Short Point). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in connector assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance status. The 1-104480-2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH-unaffected, while the 104480-3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I use for European Union applications?

A: The 1-104480-2 is required for applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH regulations applicable in the European Union. The 104480-3 does not meet these compliance requirements.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both 104480-3 and 1-104480-2 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, ensuring compatibility with standard component handling and assembly processes.

Q: Can I use 104480-3 in place of 1-104480-2?

A: Functional substitution is possible from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, regulatory compliance requirements must be evaluated. If the application requires ROHS3 compliance or REACH-unaffected materials, the 104480-3 is not suitable.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these socket contacts?

A: Both parts support crimp termination for 22-26 AWG wire gauges. Wire gauge selection must match the contact specifications to ensure proper crimp connection and electrical performance.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 classification, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Standard component storage practices are sufficient.
