Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 111446-2 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug
• Number of positions: 14
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Cable termination: IDC
• Wire gauge: 26-28 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Features: Feed Through

Parts meeting all primary criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts from different manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications are classified as equivalent alternatives.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-111446-5 (Direct Substitute - Recommended for Primary Selection)

The 1-111446-5 is a direct substitute manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMP-Latch series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 111446-2 while offering active product status. The 1-111446-5 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing regulatory compliance advantages over the obsolete 111446-2. Packaging is supplied in Tray format with 972 units in current inventory.

4614-6001 (Equivalent Alternative - Secondary Selection)

The 4614-6001 is manufactured by 3M and belongs to the 4600 series. This part meets all primary electrical and mechanical substitution criteria with identical pitch, row configuration, contact finish specifications, and IDC termination. The 4614-6001 supports both discrete and ribbon cable wire types with stranded or solid conductor options, providing additional application flexibility. This part carries ROHS3 Compliant status and is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1165 units in current inventory. The connector body color differs (Gray versus Black), which may be relevant for visual identification in field applications.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations

Both substitute parts provide improved regulatory compliance compared to the obsolete 111446-2. Selection between 1-111446-5 and 4614-6001 should account for supply chain preferences, packaging requirements, and any color-coding specifications in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-111446-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 111446-2?

A: Yes. The 1-111446-5 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, cable termination method, wire gauge, contact finish, and mounting configuration. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series.

Q: What are the differences between the 1-111446-5 and 4614-6001?

A: Both parts meet identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are: manufacturer (TE Connectivity versus 3M), series designation (AMP-Latch versus 4600), connector body color (Black versus Gray), wire type flexibility (4614-6001 supports discrete or ribbon cable versus ribbon cable only for 1-111446-5), and conductor type options (4614-6001 supports stranded or solid versus standard for 1-111446-5).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 111446-2 is supplied in unspecified packaging. The 1-111446-5 is supplied in Tray packaging. The 4614-6001 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may impact handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. The 111446-2 is RoHS non-compliant. The 1-111446-5 is RoHS Compliant. The 4614-6001 is ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should utilize either substitute part.

Q: Can the 4614-6001 accept both ribbon cable and discrete wire?

A: Yes. The 4614-6001 supports both discrete and ribbon cable wire types with 26-28 AWG stranded or solid conductors. The 111446-2 and 1-111446-5 are specified for ribbon cable applications.

Q: Are all three parts rated for the same wire gauge?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for 26-28 AWG wire gauge. The 4614-6001 additionally specifies support for both stranded and solid conductor types.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: All three parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row configuration and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
