TE Connectivity 111623-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 111623-9 is a 40 position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC termination for 28 AWG ribbon cable. This connector features a gold-plated contact finish, polarizing key, and feed-through design in the AMP-Latch series. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 111623-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (40), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), cable termination method (IDC), wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG), contact finish (gold), and presence of polarizing key and feed-through features.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (TE Connectivity): Part 2-111623-4 is a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (3M): Part 152240-0113GB from 3M's 1522 series provides functional equivalence across all critical parameters, with the addition of strain relief and active product status with RoHS3 compliance. The connector housing color differs (gray versus black), but this is a cosmetic variation without functional impact.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): TE Connectivity 2-111623-4 is the primary substitute for 111623-9. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Selection of this part eliminates obsolescence risk and aligns with current regulatory requirements.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: 3M 152240-0113GB provides full functional equivalence with the addition of strain relief, an enhancement over the original design. This part is suitable where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and where the added strain relief feature provides system benefit. RoHS3 compliance and active product status apply.

Compliance Consideration: The original 111623-9 is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. Selection of either substitute part addresses regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-111623-4 be used as a direct replacement for 111623-9?

A: Yes. The 2-111623-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, IDC termination, wire gauge, contact finish, and feature set. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity and 3M substitutes?

A: Both parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 3M 152240-0113GB includes strain relief as an additional feature and has a gray housing color instead of black. All other specifications, including pitch, position count, termination method, and contact finish, are identical.

Q: Does the housing color difference between 111623-9 and 152240-0113GB affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic characteristic without functional impact on electrical or mechanical performance. The connector will interface identically with mating components regardless of housing color.

Q: Are there any wire gauge restrictions when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts are specified for 28 AWG ribbon cable. Wire gauge compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the strain relief feature on the 3M part?

A: Strain relief is an additional mechanical feature on the 3M 152240-0113GB that provides cable protection at the termination point. This feature is not present on the original 111623-9 or the TE Connectivity 2-111623-4, but its presence does not prevent substitution and may provide enhanced durability in applications subject to cable flexing or mechanical stress.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original 111623-9 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 2-111623-4 is available in bulk packaging, and the 152240-0113GB is also available in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed based on procurement requirements.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
