Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1241818-5 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Socket contact type (Pin or Socket designation)
• Wire gauge capacity (10-11 AWG)
• Crimp termination method
• Power application classification
• Standard Power Timer series compatibility
• Rectangular connector category
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 963709-1 maintains compatibility across all critical functional parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the contact finish material: the main part features silver finish while the substitute features tin finish. Both finishes are acceptable for power connector applications within the specified wire gauge range and termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 963709-1 is suitable for applications requiring socket contact connectors with 10-11 AWG wire gauge capacity and crimp termination in power applications. The primary advantage of selecting 963709-1 is its active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1241818-5.

Both parts maintain compliance with RoHS standards and share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level classification. The 963709-1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format with significantly higher inventory levels (29,974 pieces) compared to the main part.

The contact finish difference between silver (1241818-5) and tin (963709-1) does not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters for this connector category and application type.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 963709-1 directly replace 1241818-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for socket type, wire gauge (10-11 AWG), crimp termination, power application classification, and Moisture Sensitivity Level. The contact finish difference (silver versus tin) does not compromise functional compatibility within the Standard Power Timer series.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference?

A: The main part features silver contact finish at 39.4µin (1.00µm) thickness, while the substitute features tin finish. Both finishes are suitable for power connector applications and do not affect the electrical or mechanical performance within the specified wire gauge and termination parameters.

Q: Why is product status important for this substitution?

A: The main part 1241818-5 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The substitute 963709-1 maintains active product status, ensuring reliable supply chain access and long-term component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part 963709-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement and handling procedures based on specific manufacturing requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts comply with RoHS standards. The main part carries ROHS3 Compliant designation while the substitute carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, suitable for unrestricted storage and handling conditions.
