Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute parts listed for Adafruit 1268 are Keystone Electronics part numbers 1269 and 1270. These parts are classified as quick connect terminals rather than complete LED display assemblies. The substitution logic is based on the following allowed parameters:

Key Parameters for Substitution:

  • Tab Width: 0.110" (2.79mm)
  • Termination Type: Screw, Rivet, Stud
  • Gender: Male
  • Contact Material: Brass
  • Contact Finish: Tin
  • RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Both substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical tab width, termination capability, and contact material specifications. The primary distinction between 1269 and 1270 is the terminal angle: 1269 features a standard angled configuration, while 1270 incorporates a 30-degree angle specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between substitute parts 1269 and 1270 is determined by mechanical mounting requirements and terminal angle specifications. Both parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Keystone 1269 provides standard angled terminal geometry with 0.660" overall length. Keystone 1270 offers 30-degree angled terminal geometry with 0.619" overall length. The choice between these alternatives depends on the specific mechanical constraints of the application circuit board or chassis mounting configuration.

Both substitute parts are currently in active production status, providing supply chain continuity and availability advantages over the obsolete Adafruit 1268.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Keystone 1269 and 1270 be used interchangeably with Adafruit 1268?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by tab width (0.110"), termination type (Screw, Rivet, Stud), contact material (Brass), and contact finish (Tin). Both Keystone parts meet these electrical and mechanical parameters. Terminal angle differences (standard vs. 30-degree) require evaluation against specific mounting geometry requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between Keystone 1269 and 1270?

A: The terminal angle configuration distinguishes these parts. Keystone 1269 features a standard angled terminal, while Keystone 1270 incorporates a 30-degree angle. Overall length also differs: 1269 measures 0.660" and 1270 measures 0.619".

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both Keystone 1269 and 1270 are ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), matching the compliance profile of Adafruit 1268.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: Keystone 1269 has 1772 pieces in stock. Keystone 1270 has 1028 pieces in stock. Both parts maintain active product status.
