TE Connectivity 1-215460-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-215460-4 is a 14-position receptacle connector from the Micro-MaTch series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This rectangular connector features 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, and tin-plated forked contacts. The connector operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and is rated for 100VDC applications in automotive and general-purpose environments.

The 1-215460-4 maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct replacement in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 1-215460-4 and its substitute 8-215460-4 are classified as direct equivalents based on the following criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (14)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Contact configuration (Forked)
• Contact finish (Tin on both mating and post surfaces)
• Insulation material and dimensions
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)
• Voltage rating (100VDC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)

Both parts belong to the TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch series and share identical mechanical footprints and electrical characteristics, enabling direct substitution in PCB designs and cable assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-215460-4 and 8-215460-4 are Active products manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. The parts are functionally identical across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector geometry, contact configuration, termination method, and environmental ratings.

Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than technical differentiation. The 8-215460-4 currently maintains higher inventory levels (5090 pieces) compared to the 1-215460-4 (3264 pieces), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. Both parts are packaged in Cut Tape (CT) format and are suitable for automated assembly processes.

For applications requiring the Micro-MaTch 14-position receptacle connector with 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and tin-plated forked contacts, either part number provides equivalent performance in automotive and general-purpose circuit board applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range at 100VDC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8-215460-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-215460-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8-215460-4 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the same connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting style, and environmental ratings. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution compatibility for this connector?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (Receptacle), position count (14), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Kinked Pin, Solder), contact type (Forked), contact finish (Tin), insulation material (PBT, Polyester, Glass Filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), and voltage rating (100VDC). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these part numbers?

A: Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: The 1-215460-4 and 8-215460-4 are specified for Automotive and General Purpose applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and 100VDC voltage rating support use in standard industrial and automotive circuit board interconnections.

Q: Is there a difference in compliance certifications between the two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What is the contact material used in these connectors?

A: Both connectors use Phosphor Bronze as the contact material with Tin plating applied to both the mating and post surfaces.
