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 classification (Socket)
• Wire gauge range (28-32 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish material and thickness (Gold, 15.0µin)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Short Point)
• Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The substitute part 1-104481-2 maintains identical specifications across all functional and electrical parameters that govern connector performance and assembly compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (104481), confirming their interchangeability within the AMPMODU Short Point connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 104481-7: This part is Active in product status with current inventory of 697 pieces. The component carries RoHS non-compliant certification and REACH Affected status. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a design requirement.

Part 1-104481-2: This part is Active in product status with significantly higher inventory availability of 15,651 pieces. The component is ROHS3 Compliant, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS directives. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined. This part is the preferred selection for new designs or applications requiring RoHS compliance certification.

Both parts maintain identical functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications. The primary differentiation factor is regulatory compliance status and inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application compliance requirements and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 104481-7 and 1-104481-2 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts within the AMPMODU Short Point series with identical wire gauge ratings (28-32 AWG), crimp termination, gold contact finish (15.0µin thickness), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. Part 1-104481-2 is ROHS3 Compliant, while part 104481-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are Active in product status and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Can I substitute 1-104481-2 for 104481-7 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters including contact type, wire gauge, termination method, finish material, and finish thickness. Substitution is valid from an engineering standpoint.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Part 1-104481-2 is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance certification and higher inventory availability (15,651 pieces versus 697 pieces). Selection should also consider specific application compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. No packaging differentiation exists between the two parts.

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

A: MSL 1 classification indicates Unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and do not require special moisture control handling during storage or assembly.
