Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 134974 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 120-position connector count
• 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch spacing
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• Press-fit termination method
• Gold contact finish
• Receptacle connector type (for direct replacement)

Substitute Classification:

The part 1469362-1 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent. This TE Connectivity AMP Connectors receptacle maintains the 120-position count, 2.50mm pitch, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and gold contact finish. While the row/column configuration differs (8 rows × 10 columns versus 12 rows), the electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain compatible for backplane applications.

The part 1469002-1 is classified as a similar alternative but represents a complementary connector type (header with male pins and blades rather than receptacle with female sockets). This part shares identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and termination method, making it suitable for mating applications where a male connector is required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Receptacle Configuration):

Part 1469362-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 134974. This connector maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification: 120 positions, 2.50mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C encompasses the lower end of the original specification but remains suitable for most backplane applications. Current availability of 2200 units in stock supports production continuity.

For Mating Header Applications:

Part 1469002-1 serves as the complementary connector for systems requiring a male header interface. This part shares identical position count, pitch, and mounting characteristics with the main part. However, RoHS non-compliance status requires evaluation against system-level regulatory requirements. REACH-affected status indicates the presence of substances of concern and necessitates compliance verification for end-use applications.

Compliance Considerations:

Selection between 1469362-1 and 1469002-1 must account for regulatory requirements. The 1469362-1 maintains ROHS3 compliance, suitable for applications with RoHS mandates. The 1469002-1 requires explicit compliance assessment due to RoHS non-compliance and REACH-affected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1469362-1 directly replace the obsolete 134974 in existing designs?

A: The 1469362-1 maintains compatibility across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 120-position count, 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and gold contact finish. The row/column configuration differs (8×10 versus 12 rows), but this does not affect connector interface compatibility. Verification of PCB layout and mounting hole patterns is required for physical installation confirmation.

Q: What is the difference between the 1469362-1 and 1469002-1 substitutes?

A: The 1469362-1 is a receptacle connector with female sockets, providing direct functional equivalence to the 134974. The 1469002-1 is a header connector with male pins and blades, designed for mating with receptacle connectors. Selection depends on whether a female receptacle or male header interface is required for the application.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original 134974 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Both substitute parts operate from -65°C to 105°C. The lower temperature limit is extended, but the upper temperature limit is reduced by 20°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require alternative component evaluation.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 1469362-1 is supplied in tray packaging with 2200 units in stock. The 1469002-1 is supplied in tube packaging with 1292 units in stock. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: Does the 1469002-1 meet RoHS requirements?

A: The 1469002-1 is classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Applications subject to RoHS directives or REACH regulations must use the 1469362-1, which carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts feature gold contact finish with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing consistent contact reliability and corrosion resistance compared to the original specification.

Q: Are the substitute parts rated for specific current and voltage levels?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 0.700A current and 250V voltage. The original 134974 does not specify these ratings in the provided documentation. Applications requiring current or voltage ratings should reference the substitute part specifications.
