Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-215460-8 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Micro-MaTch rectangular connector series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 18
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Contact finish: Tin (both mating and post)
• Voltage rating: 100VDC
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Contact type: Forked
• Termination method: Kinked pin, solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Insulation material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), polyester, glass-filled
• Insulation color: Red
• Insulation height: 0.228" (5.80mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.122" (3.10mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these specifications are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 8-215460-8 is a direct equivalent to the primary part number 1-215460-8. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Micro-MaTch series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications.

Selection Criteria:

Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for automotive and general-purpose applications.

The electrical specifications are identical, including 100VDC voltage rating and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The mechanical configuration is identical across all critical dimensions: 18-position receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and tin-plated forked contacts with kinked pin solder termination.

Selection between these part numbers may be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, or supply chain considerations. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in existing designs without modification to PCB layouts, mating connector specifications, or electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The 8-215460-8 is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and compliance certifications are identical between the two part numbers.

Q: Are there any differences in the connector pitch or row spacing?

A: No. Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. The 18-position, 2-row configuration is identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same mounting orientation?

A: Yes. Both parts are configured for through-hole, right-angle mounting. PCB layout compatibility is maintained between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts feature tin plating on both the mating contacts and the post (solder tail). The contact material is phosphor bronze in both cases.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage rating differences?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 100VDC and operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers if they are identical?

A: The part numbers differ in their prefix designation (1- versus 8-). Both are valid TE Connectivity part numbers within the Micro-MaTch series. The difference may reflect internal TE Connectivity manufacturing or distribution coding but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for automotive and general-purpose applications and meet the necessary compliance requirements for automotive use.

Q: What is the solder termination type?

A: Both parts feature kinked pin solder termination, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with wave or reflow soldering processes.

Q: Is the insulation material the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) polyester with glass filling for the insulation body, colored red.
