Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1241170-7 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: 7
• 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
• Series: Mark II

The substitute part 1534072-7 meets all of these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. Differences in product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging configuration do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1534072-7 is a direct functional equivalent to the 1241170-7 and is suitable for substitution in all applications where the original part was specified.

Product Status Consideration: The 1241170-7 is classified as obsolete, while the 1534072-7 is active. Selection of the active substitute part ensures continued availability for future procurement, maintenance, and production requirements.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1534072-7 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined, indicating no restrictions under REACH regulations.

Inventory Availability: The 1534072-7 is currently in stock with 1,014 pieces available, compared to 867 pieces of the obsolete 1241170-7. Selection of the substitute part provides access to active inventory channels.

Packaging Consideration: The 1534072-7 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration. Bulk packaging is standard for active production parts and does not affect connector functionality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1534072-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 1241170-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1534072-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1241170-7. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, termination method, and mounting characteristics are identical. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?
