TE Connectivity 111196-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 111196-5 is a 24-position rectangular receptacle connector from the AMPMODU System 50 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable in 30-32 AWG gauge. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts, a 0.050" pitch configuration across two rows, and latch lock fastening for secure mating. The part is currently active in production with 735 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required but alternative part numbers offer improved compliance status, increased inventory availability, or updated product variants within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 111196-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• 24-position contact count
• Female socket contact type
• 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing
• Two-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• IDC termination for 30-32 AWG ribbon cable

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Rectangular connector form factor
• Latch lock fastening mechanism
• Free hanging in-line mounting orientation
• Feed-through feature capability
• AMPMODU System 50 series family

Compliance and Availability Parameters:

• Product status (Active)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The substitute part 2-111196-8 maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering improved RoHS compliance status and higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 111196-5 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and immediate availability of the specific part number is required. This part maintains active production status and full MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture exposure.

Part 2-111196-8 is the preferred selection for new designs and applications requiring RoHS3 compliance certification. This variant provides identical electrical and mechanical performance while meeting current regulatory requirements. The higher inventory level (1302 units versus 735 units) supports extended lead time requirements and volume procurement scenarios.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable within the AMPMODU System 50 connector family. Selection between them depends solely on compliance requirements and inventory availability constraints, not on electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 111196-5 and 2-111196-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical 24-position female socket contacts with 0.050" pitch, gold plating at 30.0µin thickness, and IDC termination for 30-32 AWG ribbon cable. Electrical performance and signal integrity are equivalent.

Q: Are these parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including two-row configuration, 0.100" row spacing, latch lock fastening, free hanging in-line mounting, and feed-through capability. They are fully compatible within the AMPMODU System 50 series.

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

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Part 2-111196-8 is ROHS3 compliant, while 111196-5 is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications are identical. Additionally, 2-111196-8 has higher inventory availability.

Q: Can I use 2-111196-8 as a direct replacement for 111196-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Since all electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications are identical, 2-111196-8 functions as a direct substitute. The improved RoHS compliance makes it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements.

Q: What does IDC termination mean for these connectors?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination allows ribbon cable to be inserted directly into the connector without stripping insulation. The connector contacts pierce the cable insulation and establish electrical connection simultaneously.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and maintain active production status. Selection between them should be based on compliance requirements rather than reliability considerations.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.050" pitch specification?

A: The 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. This specification ensures compatibility with standard AMPMODU System 50 mating connectors and ribbon cable configurations.

Q: Can these connectors be used with different wire gauges?

A: No. Both parts are specified for 30-32 AWG ribbon cable only. Wire gauge compatibility is a critical parameter for IDC termination performance and cannot be altered.
