Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1241410-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: MCP 6.3/4.8K
• Pin or Socket: Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Type: Stamped
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part 1241410-1 accommodates 20-24 AWG wire gauges. The substitute part 5-1241410-1 accommodates 20-22 AWG wire gauges. The 20-22 AWG range is a subset of the original specification, maintaining compatibility with the narrower gauge range while supporting the most common wire sizes within the original specification.

Product Status Consideration: The substitute part 5-1241410-1 holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, in contrast to the obsolete status of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-1241410-1 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the obsolete 1241410-1. Both components maintain identical series designation, contact type, termination method, and contact finish specifications. The substitute part is RoHS compliant and carries MSL 1 rating, matching the environmental and regulatory compliance profile of the original part.

The wire gauge specification of the substitute part (20-22 AWG) encompasses the most frequently used wire sizes within the original specification range (20-24 AWG). Applications utilizing 20-22 AWG wire gauges experience direct compatibility with the substitute part. The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting automated assembly processes.

The active product status of 5-1241410-1 ensures continued manufacturer support, technical documentation availability, and supply chain reliability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-1241410-1 substitute directly for the 1241410-1 in all applications?

A: The 5-1241410-1 is compatible with applications using 20-22 AWG wire gauges. Applications requiring 23-24 AWG wire gauge support should evaluate the wire gauge specification against system requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the two parts?

A: The main part 1241410-1 supports 20-24 AWG, while the substitute 5-1241410-1 supports 20-22 AWG. The substitute covers the standard wire gauge range used in most MCP connector applications. Wire gauge selection is determined by the conductor cross-sectional area and current-carrying requirements of the application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 1241410-1 packaging is not specified in the available data. The substitute part 5-1241410-1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly operations and high-volume production environments.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence occurs when manufacturers discontinue production in favor of newer or improved versions. The 5-1241410-1 represents the active continuation of this product line within the MCP 6.3/4.8K series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1241410-1 and 5-1241410-1 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating indicate?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control measures during storage or handling, providing maximum flexibility in inventory management.
