TE Connectivity 1-1969597-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-1969597-4 is a 14-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the VAL-U-LOK series, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector accommodates female socket contacts with a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch in a 2-row configuration and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-1969597-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (14), pitch (0.165"/4.20mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.165"/4.20mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All substitute parts maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating are consistent across all alternatives. Variations in color (natural, white, beige) and insulation material designation (PA66 versus PA) do not affect functional interchangeability. Substitute parts are sourced from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Molex, CNC Tech, and Samtec Inc., with active product status preferred over obsolete classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete 1-1969597-4, TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1969614-4 provides the closest match with identical insulation material specification (PA66, Nylon 6/6) and active product status. This part maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters while ensuring continued availability.

When color specification is not critical to the application, TE Connectivity 1-1586019-4 or 1-794954-4 offer superior inventory availability (4746 and 62706 units respectively) with active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Part 1-794954-4 is particularly suitable for high-volume requirements due to extensive stock levels.

For applications where white housing is required, TE Connectivity 1-1586765-4 or CNC Tech 4281-2-14-D both provide active status with ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity option maintains series consistency within VAL-U-LOK, while the CNC Tech alternative offers an independent manufacturer source.

Cross-manufacturer substitution is available through Molex part 0039012140 (Mini-Fit Jr 5557 series) and Samtec Inc. part IPBD-07-D (Power Mate® IPBD series). Both maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The Molex option provides the highest inventory availability among non-TE Connectivity alternatives at 20152 units.

All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and operate across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1969597-4 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 14 positions, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Functional interchangeability is confirmed across all alternatives.

Q: Does color variation affect connector compatibility?

A: No. Color differences (natural, white, beige) are cosmetic and do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should be based on application requirements and visual identification needs.

Q: What is the difference between PA66 and PA insulation material designations?

A: Both polyamide (PA) and polyamide 6/6 (PA66) are polyamide-based materials meeting the same functional requirements for this connector category. The designation difference reflects material specification variations that do not affect interchangeability for this application.
