TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1379029-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1379029-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component is part of the Micro Quadlok series and features a black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation body with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening. The connector is classified as a free-hanging in-line receptacle with female socket contacts. This part maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory alternatives, and sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1379029-1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Micro Quadlok series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Series: Micro Quadlok
• Base Product Number: 1379029

The identified substitute part 1379029-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only variation is the housing color (Brown versus Black), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share identical base product designation, series classification, and functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1379029-1 and 1379029-6 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Micro Quadlok series. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

The 1379029-1 (Black housing) and 1379029-6 (Brown housing) are functionally equivalent rectangular connector receptacles. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and identical operating temperature specifications. The housing color variation does not impact electrical connectivity, mechanical fit, or thermal performance.

Selection criteria include:

• Color-coded circuit identification: Applications requiring visual circuit identification through housing color may necessitate selection of the specific color variant.
• Inventory availability: The 1379029-1 maintains higher inventory levels (13,500 pcs) compared to 1379029-6 (3,564 pcs).
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and EAR99 export classification requirements.
• Environmental conditions: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and moisture sensitivity profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1379029-1 and 1379029-6 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-position rectangular connector receptacles with identical electrical specifications, including female socket contacts, crimp termination, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, and latch lock fastening. The housing color difference does not affect electrical performance or signal integrity.

Q: What is the only difference between these substitute parts?

A: The housing color is the only difference. The 1379029-1 features a black housing, while the 1379029-6 features a brown housing. All other parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting style, insulation material, and operating temperature range, are identical.

Q: Can I use the 1379029-6 as a direct replacement for the 1379029-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 1379029-6 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for the 1379029-1. The parts share the same base product number (1379029), series designation (Micro Quadlok), and all critical functional parameters. Housing color selection depends on application-specific requirements such as circuit identification or assembly documentation standards.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1379029-1 and 1379029-6 are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making them suitable for industrial and commercial applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 1379029-1 and 1379029-6 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as specified in the product documentation.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured as free-hanging in-line receptacles, allowing direct connection to mating plug connectors without requiring panel mounting or additional mechanical fixtures.
