Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-106527-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (14), pitch (0.165"/4.20mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.165"/4.20mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All identified substitute parts maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications without deviation.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories: TE Connectivity AMP-DUAC and VAL-U-LOK series alternatives, and cross-manufacturer equivalents from Molex. All substitutes are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and operate within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Packaging configurations vary between bulk and original specifications, and product status ranges from active to obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently utilizing the obsolete 1-106527-4, the TE Connectivity 1-794954-4 (VAL-U-LOK series) is the primary active equivalent. This part maintains full parametric compatibility while offering significantly higher inventory availability (62,706 units) and active product status. The 1-794954-4 is RoHS3 compliant and carries MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Secondary TE Connectivity alternatives include 1-1969603-4 and 1-1969614-4, both active VAL-U-LOK series parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1-1969614-4 utilizes PA66 nylon 6/6 insulation material, while 1-1969603-4 uses standard polyamide nylon. Both maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and operating temperature requirements.

The Molex 0039012140 (Mini-Fit Jr 5557 series) provides a cross-manufacturer equivalent with identical parametric specifications. This part is active, RoHS3 compliant, and offers the highest inventory level (20,152 units). The 0039012140 utilizes PA66 nylon 6/6 insulation material and operates within the same temperature range.

Selection between active alternatives should prioritize product status, inventory availability, and established supply chain relationships. All identified substitutes are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original 1-106527-4 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-794954-4 directly replace the obsolete 1-106527-4?

A: Yes. The 1-794954-4 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 14 positions, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and free-hanging in-line mounting. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK series parts and the original AMP-DUAC series?

A: The VAL-U-LOK series (1-794954-4, 1-1969597-4, 1-1969603-4, 1-1969614-4) represents the active product line evolution from the obsolete AMP-DUAC series (1-106527-4). All parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 14-position, 4.20mm pitch receptacle housing configuration. The VAL-U-LOK series offers improved availability and active manufacturing status.

Q: Are there material differences between substitute parts?

A: Insulation material specifications vary among substitutes. The 1-794954-4 and 1-1969603-4 use polyamide (PA) nylon, while 1-1969597-4, 1-1969614-4, and Molex 0039012140 use polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. All materials are compatible with the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and maintain RoHS3 compliance.

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

A: The 1-794954-4 offers the highest TE Connectivity inventory at 62,706 units. The Molex 0039012140 provides 20,152 units. Secondary TE Connectivity options include 1-1969614-4 (912 units), 1-1969603-4 (998 units), and 1-1969597-4 (4,101 units). The original 1-106527-4 has 702 units remaining.

Q: Is the Molex 0039012140 electrically compatible with TE Connectivity alternatives?

A: Yes. The Molex 0039012140 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 14 positions, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Operating temperature range, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) are equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: What packaging configurations are available?

A: The original 1-106527-4 packaging specification is not detailed in available documentation. Substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with supplier specifications for procurement requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts—1-794954-4, 1-1969597-4, 1-1969603-4, 1-1969614-4, and Molex 0039012140—are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).
