Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector socket contacts is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria include:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series (AMPMODU Short Point)
• Component Type (Socket Contact)
• Contact Termination Method (Crimp)
• Wire Gauge Rating (22-26 AWG)
• Contact Finish Material (Gold)
• Contact Finish Thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)
• Packaging Format (Cut Tape)

The substitute part 1-104480-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number 104480-4. Both components are derived from the same base product number (104480) and function interchangeably within the AMPMODU Short Point connector system. The primary distinction between these parts relates to compliance certifications and inventory sourcing rather than functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 104480-4: This part number is classified as RoHS non-compliant and carries REACH Affected status. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement or where legacy system compatibility necessitates non-compliant components. The part maintains Active product status with 12,181 pieces available in current inventory.

Part 1-104480-3: This part number is ROHS3 Compliant, making it the preferred selection for applications subject to RoHS regulations or where compliance documentation is required. The REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined. This part maintains Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability at 60,200 pieces.

Both parts are functionally equivalent for rectangular connector socket contact applications within the AMPMODU Short Point series. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements specific to the end application and regulatory jurisdiction rather than electrical or mechanical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1-104480-3 be used as a direct replacement for part 104480-4?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts within the AMPMODU Short Point series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications including wire gauge (22-26 AWG), contact finish (Gold at 30.0µin thickness), termination method (Crimp), and packaging format (Cut Tape). The parts are functionally interchangeable in connector assemblies.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. Part 1-104480-3 is ROHS3 Compliant, while part 104480-4 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection depends on whether RoHS compliance is required for the application.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or contact finish differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges and feature gold contact finish with identical thickness specifications of 30.0µin (0.76µm). These parameters are identical across both part numbers.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these socket contacts have no moisture sensitivity limitations. The components do not require special moisture control or baking procedures prior to assembly and can be stored under standard environmental conditions without time restrictions.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same connector assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are functionally equivalent socket contacts with identical mechanical and electrical specifications, they can be used together within the same AMPMODU Short Point connector assembly without compatibility issues.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 104480?

A: The base product number 104480 indicates that both part numbers 104480-4 and 1-104480-3 are variants of the same fundamental socket contact design. The suffix numbers distinguish between different manufacturing batches, compliance certifications, or packaging configurations while maintaining core functional equivalence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format. The packaging method is identical for both part numbers.
