TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1217097-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1217097-1 is a 0.187" (4.75mm) Quick Connect Female crimp connector designed for 18-22 AWG wire gauges. This terminal is part of the Mark III series and features a non-insulated brass contact construction suitable for free-hanging in-line applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign or connector modification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1217097-1 terminal is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical tab dimensions (width, thickness, and length), wire gauge compatibility, gender classification, termination method, contact material composition, and insulation diameter specifications. These parameters directly determine physical fit within connector housings and electrical performance in quick-connect applications.

The 1217097-2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment of all specified parameters. Both parts share identical tab geometry, wire gauge range, crimp termination capability, brass contact material, and free-hanging mounting configuration. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1217097-2 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1217097-1 terminal. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Mark III series and maintain complete dimensional and electrical compatibility. The 1217097-2 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance characteristics. The 1217097-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, which is standard for production and assembly environments.

The 1217097-2 includes a tin contact finish, whereas the contact finish specification for 1217097-1 is not provided in the available documentation. This finish difference does not affect mechanical interchangeability or crimp termination performance in quick-connect applications. Selection of the 1217097-2 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing connector housings and wire termination specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1217097-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 1217097-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1217097-2 maintains identical tab dimensions (0.187" width, 0.032" thickness, 0.255" length), wire gauge compatibility (18-22 AWG), crimp termination method, and free-hanging mounting configuration. Physical fit and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 1217097-1 to 1217097-2?

A: The 1217097-1 is classified as obsolete product status. The 1217097-2 is an active product offering from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these two terminals?

A: All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The 1217097-2 includes a tin contact finish specification, whereas the 1217097-1 contact finish is not documented. This finish does not affect crimp performance or quick-connect functionality.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these terminals?

A: The 1217097-1 packaging format is not specified in available documentation. The 1217097-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which is standard for production assembly and component handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1217097-1 and 1217097-2 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these terminals?

A: Both terminals support 18-22 AWG wire gauges with insulation diameter range of 0.090" to 0.130" (2.29mm to 3.30mm).

Q: Can these terminals be used in applications requiring insulated contacts?

A: No. Both the 1217097-1 and 1217097-2 are non-insulated terminals. Applications requiring insulated contacts require alternative part selection.
