Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 119738-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 30
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Gender: Female
• Number of Rows: 2
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Read Out: Dual

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Card Type: Non Specified - Dual Edge
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Card Thickness Acceptance Range:

• Main Part: 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm)
• Substitute parts must accommodate cards within or overlapping this range

The identified substitute parts maintain these critical parameters while differing in contact material composition, insulation material specifications, and regulatory compliance status. Both substitute parts are classified as active products, providing ongoing availability for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Active Production:

The ECC15DJBN (Sullins Connector Solutions) is the primary substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 119738-1. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The ECC15DJBN operates across an extended temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and utilizes phosphor bronze contact material matching the original specification. The fixed card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm) falls within the acceptable range of the original part.

For Legacy System Replacement:

The 745-030-520-201 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) provides an alternative substitute with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part accommodates the full card thickness range of the original connector (0.054" ~ 0.070") and operates across -40°C to 105°C. The copper alloy contact material differs from the original phosphor bronze specification but maintains equivalent electrical performance with identical gold plating thickness.

Regulatory Compliance Consideration:

Both substitute parts achieve ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete original part does not meet. Selection between the two substitutes depends on specific application temperature requirements and card thickness specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECC15DJBN replace the TE Connectivity 119738-1 in existing applications?

A: The ECC15DJBN maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The fixed card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm) is within the original part's acceptable range of 0.054" ~ 0.071". Compatibility is confirmed for applications using cards within this thickness specification.

Q: What is the difference between the Mercury 745-030-520-201 and Sullins ECC15DJBN substitutes?

A: Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, and row configuration. The primary differences are contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), insulation material (polyester thermoplastic versus PBT), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C versus -65°C ~ 125°C). The Mercury part accommodates a broader card thickness range (0.054" ~ 0.070"), while the Sullins part is fixed at 0.062" (1.57mm).

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the Mercury 745-030-520-201 and Sullins ECC15DJBN are ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity 119738-1 is RoHS non-compliant, making either substitute suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The Mercury 745-030-520-201 is supplied in bulk packaging. The Sullins ECC15DJBN is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection should align with production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Does card thickness affect the choice between substitute parts?

A: Yes. If your application uses cards at the lower thickness range (0.054" ~ 0.060"), the Mercury 745-030-520-201 is required, as it accommodates this range. The Sullins ECC15DJBN is fixed at 0.062" (1.57mm) and is suitable for applications using cards at or near this thickness. For cards at 0.062" ~ 0.071", both parts are compatible.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Yes, all three parts feature gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts, including the original and both substitutes, are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
