Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 1394355-4 receptacle connector is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Series: Mark II
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Color: Natural
• RoHS Compliance Status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Connector Interface Compatibility: The 1394355-4 is a receptacle connector designed to mate with plug connectors of identical pitch, position count, and row configuration within the Mark II series. The substitute part 1534077-4 is a plug connector that maintains these critical dimensional and electrical parameters, enabling direct mating compatibility.

Compliance Alignment: Both the main part and substitute maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility in regulated manufacturing environments and storage conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The 1394355-4 receptacle connector is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 1534077-4 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment

Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The 1534077-4 carries ROHS3 compliance designation, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Series and Interface Compatibility

Both connectors belong to the Mark II series and share identical pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count (4), and row configuration (1). This dimensional alignment ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility within mating connector pairs.

Functional Differentiation

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is connector type: the 1394355-4 is a receptacle (female) connector, while the 1534077-4 is a plug (male) connector. This differentiation reflects their complementary roles in complete connector assemblies. Selection between these components depends on the specific application requirement for either receptacle or plug functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1534077-4 plug connector directly replace the 1394355-4 receptacle connector?

A: No. The 1534077-4 is a plug connector designed to mate with receptacle connectors. Direct replacement requires a receptacle connector of equivalent specifications. The 1534077-4 serves as the mating component in a complete connector assembly with the 1394355-4.

Q: What parameters determine compatibility between the 1394355-4 and potential substitute receptacle connectors?

A: Compatibility is established through matching pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count (4), row configuration (1), series designation (Mark II), mounting type (free hanging in-line), cable termination method (IDC), and compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL Level 1).

Q: Is the 1534077-4 suitable for applications previously using the 1394355-4?

A: The 1534077-4 is suitable only for applications requiring plug connector functionality. For receptacle applications, alternative receptacle connectors within the Mark II series with matching specifications must be identified.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of the 1394355-4?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity AMP Connectors has discontinued manufacturing of this component. The active status of the 1534077-4 ensures continued availability for new designs and ongoing system support where plug connector functionality is required.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between the main part and substitute?

A: The 1394355-4 specifies tin contact finish. The 1534077-4 does not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. Contact finish specifications should be verified through TE Connectivity technical documentation when contact material compatibility is critical to application performance.

Q: Do both connectors support the same wire gauge and termination method?

A: Both connectors utilize IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) cable termination with discrete wire configuration. Wire gauge specifications are not provided in the component parameters for either part.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these components?

A: The 1394355-4 packaging is not specified in the provided parameters. The 1534077-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on application requirements and inventory management needs.
