Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 111382-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMP-Latch series. The substitute part 1-111382-8 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 26-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, through-hole press-fit mounting, IDC termination, wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid), tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin thickness, and black color. Both parts share the same base product number (111382) and series designation (AMP-Latch), confirming functional equivalence.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 111382-6 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-111382-8 is active and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs, with the substitute supplied in tube format compared to the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-111382-8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 111382-6. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 111382-6 is classified as obsolete, making the active 1-111382-8 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1-111382-8 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The original 111382-6 is RoHS non-compliant and does not satisfy modern procurement requirements for many applications and markets.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including connector configuration, pitch dimensions, mounting methodology, termination type, and wire gauge compatibility. This equivalence ensures direct interchangeability in circuit board designs and cable assemblies.

Availability: The 1-111382-8 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the 111382-6 is obsolete and subject to limited stock conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-111382-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 111382-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-111382-8 is functionally equivalent to the 111382-6 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors feature identical 26-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 2-row layout, through-hole press-fit mounting, IDC termination, wire gauge support, and contact specifications. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 111382-6 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-111382-8 is active and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging also differs, with the substitute supplied in tube format. All functional and electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are the pitch dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 111382-6 and 1-111382-8 maintain identical cable pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm) and board-side pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm). Row spacing is also identical at 0.100" (2.54mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and cable assemblies.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute part?

A: The 1-111382-8 supports both 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid wire gauges, identical to the original 111382-6. IDC termination accommodates this wire gauge range without modification.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The 1-111382-8 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original 111382-6 is RoHS non-compliant and does not satisfy modern procurement standards.

Q: Are there any mounting or installation differences?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical through-hole, press-fit mounting methodology. Installation procedures, PCB footprints, and assembly processes remain unchanged when substituting the 1-111382-8 for the 111382-6.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for the substitute part?

A: The 1-111382-8 features tin-lead contact finish with 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness, identical to the original 111382-6.
