Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 111626-3 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMP-Latch rectangular connector series. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Position count: 16
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows at 0.079" (2.00mm) spacing
• Cable termination: IDC method
• Wire gauge compatibility: 28 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Series designation: AMP-Latch

The substitute part 2-111626-5 meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 2-111626-5 provides direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 111626-3 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and product lifecycle requirements.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance: The 2-111626-5 is the appropriate selection, as it carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. The 111626-3 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs or applications with regulatory compliance mandates.

For legacy system maintenance: The 111626-3 remains functionally equivalent where RoHS compliance is not required. However, availability is limited to existing inventory (695 pcs), and the obsolete status indicates no future production.

For new production and ongoing supply: The 2-111626-5 is the recommended selection due to active product status, higher inventory availability (725 pcs), and RoHS3 compliance certification. Bulk packaging facilitates integration into manufacturing workflows.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility within the AMP-Latch connector series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-111626-5 directly replace the 111626-3 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 2-111626-5 provides direct substitution. All electrical parameters (16 positions, 0.079" pitch, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, 28 AWG wire gauge, gold contact finish) and mechanical parameters (free-hanging in-line mounting, feed-through features) are identical. Physical form factor and connector interface are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 111626-3 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 2-111626-5 is an active product with ROHS3 Compliant certification. Functionally and mechanically, the parts are identical. The packaging differs (unspecified for 111626-3 versus bulk for 2-111626-5).

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with ribbon cable termination?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination methods and support 28 AWG ribbon cable. The contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm gold plating) is identical, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: The 2-111626-5 is the appropriate selection for new designs. It carries active product status, ROHS3 compliance certification, and higher inventory availability. The 111626-3 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use.

Q: What is the significance of the bulk packaging for the 2-111626-5?

A: Bulk packaging indicates the part is supplied in standard manufacturing quantities without individual packaging. This configuration is standard for active production parts and facilitates integration into automated assembly processes.
