Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 114400 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector category: Backplane Connectors
• Number of positions: 3 (Power configuration)
• Mounting type: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Press-Fit
• Number of rows: 1
• Contact finish: Gold or equivalent noble metal plating

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH compliance status

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5223961-1 satisfies these critical parameters through equivalent mechanical interface, electrical contact configuration, and environmental operating specifications. While the substitute employs male blades rather than male pins, both configurations serve identical functional roles in power distribution applications within backplane connector systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5223961-1 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 114400. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and technical documentation. The original part's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance. The substitute satisfies RoHS requirements and maintains REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's compliance profile. Moisture sensitivity level remains at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both configurations.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface: The substitute preserves critical mechanical parameters including board edge mounting, through-hole termination, right-angle orientation, and press-fit termination method. The 3-position power configuration and single-row layout remain consistent. Operating temperature range spans -55°C to 125°C for both parts.

Contact Configuration: While the substitute employs male blade contacts rather than male pins, both configurations deliver equivalent electrical performance in backplane power distribution applications. The substitute's gold or gold-palladium contact finish provides equivalent or superior corrosion resistance compared to the original gold finish.

Voltage Rating: The substitute part specifies a 250V voltage rating, providing defined electrical performance parameters absent from the original part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity AMP 5223961-1 directly replace the TE Connectivity Erni 114400 in existing designs?

A: The substitute part satisfies all critical functional parameters including connector category, position count, mounting type, termination method, and operating temperature range. The primary design consideration involves the transition from male pin contacts to male blade contacts. Both contact types serve identical functional roles in power distribution applications. Physical board layout and mating connector compatibility must be verified for specific applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original part's obsolete classification indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability. The substitute part's active status ensures ongoing production, technical support, and supply chain continuity. For new designs and ongoing system support, the active substitute part provides superior long-term reliability and availability.

Q: Are the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. The original part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The substitute part is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts satisfy equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements for deployment in compliant applications.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating specification in the substitute part?

A: The substitute part specifies a 250V voltage rating, providing explicit electrical performance parameters. The original part does not include a voltage rating specification. For applications requiring defined voltage performance, the substitute part's 250V rating establishes clear electrical operating limits.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications compare?

A: The original part specifies gold contact finish. The substitute part specifies gold or gold-palladium contact finish. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance in power distribution applications. Gold-palladium plating offers enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original part is supplied in tray packaging. The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or performance. Packaging selection should be based on inventory management, handling, and assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature listed for the substitute part?

A: The board guide feature provides mechanical alignment assistance during connector installation. This feature enhances assembly accuracy and reduces installation errors. The original part specification does not reference this feature.
