Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 111196-8 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU System 50 series. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 34-position configuration with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch
• 2-row arrangement with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Female socket contact type with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• IDC termination capability for 30-32 AWG ribbon cable
• Free hanging in-line mounting with latch lock fastening
• Black housing color

The substitute part 3-111196-0 satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging configuration, with the substitute offering active product status and tray packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 3-111196-0 provides complete functional and mechanical equivalence to the obsolete 111196-8. Selection of the substitute is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The main part is classified as obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components. The main part is RoHS non-compliant, which may present compliance challenges in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters determining connector function and interchangeability are identical between the main part and substitute. The 34-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, IDC termination method, and gold contact specifications ensure direct functional replacement.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part is available in higher quantity (1741 pieces) compared to the main part (863 pieces), providing improved supply chain reliability.

Packaging Configuration: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production components and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-111196-0 substitute directly replace the 111196-8 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All connector parameters including position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, and wire gauge specifications are identical. Direct replacement is supported without circuit or assembly modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The main part (111196-8) is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute (3-111196-0) is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must use the substitute part. The substitute meets current environmental standards for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when transitioning from 111196-8 to 3-111196-0?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production components. Tray packaging is compatible with automated assembly equipment and standard component handling procedures.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same contact finish specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with identical finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). Contact resistance, durability, and electrical performance characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: What is the relationship between part numbers 111196-8 and 3-111196-0?

A: The 3-111196-0 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 111196-8. Both parts share the same base product number (111196) and are part of the AMPMODU System 50 series. The substitute represents the current manufacturing variant with updated compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or cable type restrictions when using the substitute?

A: No. The substitute maintains identical specifications for IDC termination with 30-32 AWG ribbon cable. Wire gauge compatibility and termination method are unchanged from the main part.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements. This specification is identical to the main part.
