Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The 1-338069-4 and its substitute 8-338069-4 share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and electrical characteristics:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (14)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish (Tin)
• Voltage rating (100VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compliance status (ROHS3)

Both parts belong to the Micro-MaTch series and maintain identical insulation material (Polyamide PA46, Nylon 4/6, Glass Filled), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and termination method (Solder). The substitute part is fully interchangeable for applications requiring the 1-338069-4 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-338069-4 and 8-338069-4 are active products from TE Connectivity with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and packaging considerations rather than functional differences.
