Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1241170-5 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match identically for a part to function as a direct substitute:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Contact Type: Blade Pin
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Features: Dual Wire Exit
• Color: Natural
• Series: Mark II

The substitute part 1534072-5 meets all of these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the obsolete 1241170-5.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1534072-5 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance certifications and regulatory classifications (ECCN and HTSUS codes), confirming compatibility within regulated supply chains.

The 1534072-5 is available in Bulk packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (2235 pieces in stock versus 709 pieces for the obsolete part), providing superior supply chain reliability for new production and field service applications.

For applications currently specified with 1241170-5, direct substitution with 1534072-5 is supported without design modification or functional compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1534072-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 1241170-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1534072-5 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1241170-5 across all specified parameters. No design changes are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1241170-5 is Obsolete, while the 1534072-5 is Active. The 1534072-5 also features Bulk packaging and higher inventory availability. All functional specifications are identical.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications. The 1534072-5 carries ROHS3 compliance, which is a more recent standard iteration but maintains full backward compatibility.

Q: What does IDC termination mean in this connector?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination allows the connector to pierce and grip wire insulation directly without stripping. Both the 1241170-5 and 1534072-5 use this termination method with discrete wire type.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging (Bulk for 1534072-5 versus unspecified for 1241170-5) affects only order quantity and logistics. Connector electrical and mechanical performance is identical.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or installation.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for field service replacement applications?

A: Yes. The 1534072-5 is the appropriate field service replacement for systems originally equipped with the 1241170-5. The Active product status ensures continued availability for maintenance and repair operations.
