Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1534072-4 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1241170-4. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1534072-4 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The 1241170-4 is obsolete and no longer in active production.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant) and carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.8000), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch spacing, contact configuration, termination method, mounting style, and fastening mechanism—are identical between the two parts. The tin contact finish and dual wire exit features are preserved.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture handling requirements and storage conditions.

The 1534072-4 provides full functional and physical compatibility with applications designed for the 1241170-4 without design modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1534072-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 1241170-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1534072-4 is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters—position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism—match exactly. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1241170-4 is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The 1534072-4 is the active equivalent part maintained by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring supply chain continuity and ongoing manufacturing support.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.69.8000). They meet the same regulatory requirements for use in equivalent applications.

Q: Do these connectors have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both the 1241170-4 and 1534072-4 carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and storage condition requirements.

Q: What are the key physical specifications that ensure compatibility?

A: The connectors share identical specifications for connector type (Receptacle), position count (4), pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), row configuration (1 row), contact type (Blade Pin), mounting style (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Latch Lock), and contact finish (Tin). These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Q: Is the 1534072-4 available in the same packaging as the 1241170-4?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the technical parameters for either part. Contact the supplier or manufacturer for specific packaging and quantity per unit details.

Q: Can the IDC termination method be used interchangeably with other termination types?

A: No. IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination is specific to these connectors. Both the 1241170-4 and 1534072-4 use IDC termination exclusively. Connectors with different termination methods (such as solder or crimp) are not compatible.

Q: What does "Dual Wire Exit" mean for these connectors?

A: Dual Wire Exit is a feature that allows wire conductors to exit the connector at two different points or angles, providing flexibility in cable routing and assembly configurations. This feature is identical in both the 1241170-4 and 1534072-4.
