Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector socket contacts is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish compatibility between the main part 1241372-1 and substitute parts:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Pin or Socket designation (Socket)
• Contact Termination method (Crimp)
• Wire Gauge range (22-24 AWG)
• Contact Finish material (Tin)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part 1564980-1 meets all critical parameters required for functional equivalence. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the socket contact interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1564980-1 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using 1241372-1. The following factors support this substitution:

Product Status Consideration: The main part 1241372-1 is classified as obsolete, while the substitute part 1564980-1 maintains active product status. This ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for new production requirements.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The substitute part preserves all critical functional parameters including socket contact type, crimp termination, 22-24 AWG wire gauge compatibility, and tin contact finish. These specifications ensure direct functional replacement without circuit or assembly modifications.

Series Evolution: The transition from MCP series to MCP 1.5K series represents a product line advancement by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, with the substitute part incorporating stamped contact construction while maintaining backward compatibility with the original electrical interface requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1564980-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1241372-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for socket contact function, including wire gauge range, termination method, contact finish, and compliance ratings. The substitute part is functionally equivalent for applications requiring 22-24 AWG crimp socket contacts with tin finish.

Q: What is the difference between the MCP and MCP 1.5K series designations?

A: The series designation indicates product line classification within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors rectangular connector portfolio. Both series maintain compatibility for socket contact specifications. The MCP 1.5K series represents the current active product line, while MCP is the legacy series designation.

Q: Does the stamped contact type in 1564980-1 affect compatibility with the original design?

A: No. The contact type designation (stamped versus other manufacturing methods) describes the internal construction method but does not alter the electrical or mechanical interface specifications. The socket contact function, wire gauge compatibility, and termination method remain identical.

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

A: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. No compliance or regulatory differences exist between the main part and substitute part.

Q: What inventory considerations should be evaluated?

A: The main part 1241372-1 has 1148 pieces in stock with obsolete status, indicating limited future availability. The substitute part 1564980-1 has 1011 pieces in stock with active product status, ensuring continued supply for ongoing requirements.
