Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1367629-1 with the 1367629-2 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type (SFP), connector style (cage), mounting configuration (through hole, right angle), and termination method (press-fit). Both incorporate EMI shielding and light pipe features. The substitution is valid because the parts maintain the same base product number (1367629) and are differentiated only by packaging configuration and product lifecycle status. The 1367629-2 represents the active production equivalent with bulk packaging, whereas the 1367629-1 is obsolete. Compliance certifications including RoHS, REACH, and ECCN classification remain consistent across both parts, confirming functional and regulatory interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1367629-2 is the appropriate selection for new designs and production applications. As an active product with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 1367629-1, the 1367629-2 provides continuity of function while ensuring access to current manufacturing and supply chain support. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status, confirming regulatory interchangeability. The 1367629-2 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production volume requirements. For existing designs currently utilizing the 1367629-1, direct substitution with the 1367629-2 requires no circuit board layout modifications or connector interface changes, as all mechanical and electrical parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1367629-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 1367629-1 on existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical. The 1367629-2 requires no changes to PCB layout, mounting holes, or connector interface specifications. The right-angle through-hole press-fit mounting configuration is identical between both parts.

Q: What is the difference between the 1367629-1 and 1367629-2?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The 1367629-1 is obsolete, while the 1367629-2 is an active product. The 1367629-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. All functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The 1367629-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 1367629-2 carries RoHS compliance. Both satisfy regulatory requirements for their respective product lifecycles.

Q: What does the MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicate?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Standard warehouse conditions are acceptable.

Q: Is the SFP cage connector suitable for optical transceiver applications?

A: The connector is designed for SFP cage applications. The light pipe feature supports optical signal transmission. Specific transceiver compatibility depends on the optical module specifications and should be confirmed against the transceiver datasheet.

Q: What is the press-fit termination method?

A: Press-fit termination is a mechanical connection method where connector leads are inserted into plated through-holes on the PCB under controlled pressure, creating a permanent connection without solder. This method is suitable for automated assembly processes.
