Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 114401 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 3 (exact match required)
• Connector Type: Header with Male Blades (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle (exact match required)
• Connector Style: Blade Power (exact match required)
• Connector Usage: Backplane (functional category match)

The substitute part 5223962-1 satisfies all these criteria. It is manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belongs to the UPM (Universal Power Modules) series. The substitute maintains identical functional specifications for position count, blade configuration, mounting orientation, and power delivery application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5223962-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 114401. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part 5223962-1 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Compliance and Certification: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The UL94 V-0 material flammability rating provides documented safety performance for backplane connector applications.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical specifications for the critical parameters that determine connector interchangeability: three-position configuration, male blade header type, board edge through-hole right-angle mounting, and blade power connector style.

Export Classification: The substitute part is classified as EAR99, providing standard export control treatment suitable for commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity Erni 114401 listed as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 114401 has reached end-of-life status and is no longer manufactured. The substitute part 5223962-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors represents the active production equivalent within the TE Connectivity product portfolio.

Q: What are the critical parameters for determining if a substitute connector is compatible?

A: Compatibility is determined by exact matching of: number of positions (3), connector type (header with male blades), mounting configuration (board edge, through hole, right angle), and connector style (blade power). The substitute part 5223962-1 matches all these parameters.

Q: Is the substitute part physically interchangeable with the original?

A: Both parts share identical functional specifications for position count, blade configuration, and mounting type. The substitute includes additional documented specifications such as press-fit termination, gold or gold-palladium contact finish, and board guide features.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute part carry?

A: The substitute part 5223962-1 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carries a UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. These certifications meet current environmental and safety standards for backplane connector applications.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part 5223962-1 is supplied in tube packaging, standard for connector components in production environments.

Q: Are there any differences in operating specifications between the original and substitute?

A: The substitute part specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and a voltage rating of 250V. These specifications define the operational envelope for the substitute part in backplane applications.
