Packaging Availability: The 61818-1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (446,277 pieces), providing superior supply chain accessibility compared to the limited stock of the obsolete 1217198-1 (672 pieces).

The 61818-1 provides direct form, fit, and function replacement without design modification or re-qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 61818-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 1217198-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 61818-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1217198-1 across all specified parameters. Tab dimensions, wire gauge range, termination method, contact material, and mounting characteristics are identical, enabling direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 1217198-1?

A: The 1217198-1 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 61818-1 is an Active product with equivalent specifications and significantly higher inventory availability, ensuring reliable supply for current and future production requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or regulatory status between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and EAR99 export classification. No compliance modifications are required when substituting the 61818-1 for the 1217198-1.

Q: Does packaging differ between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 1217198-1 packaging is not specified, while the 61818-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects standard industry packaging for active production parts.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with the 61818-1?

A: The 61818-1 accommodates wire gauges from 22 to 26 AWG, identical to the 1217198-1 specification. Crimp termination must be performed using tooling rated for this wire gauge range.

Q: Are the tab dimensions identical between these connectors?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a 0.110" (2.79mm) tab width, 0.016" (0.41mm) tab thickness, and 0.140" (3.56mm) tab length. These dimensions ensure compatibility with mating connectors and receptacles designed for the Faston series 0.110" quick connect standard.

Q: What is the contact material composition?

A: Both the 1217198-1 and 61818-1 utilize brass as the contact material, providing consistent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance across the substitution.
