TE Connectivity 1410187-4 VITA 46 Backplane Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1410187-4 is a 112-position VITA 46 backplane connector plug designed for daughtercard applications. This male blade connector features board edge mounting with through-hole, right-angle termination and is classified as an active product. The connector accommodates 32 signal pairs, 8 single signals, and 40 ground contacts with a 0.071" (1.80mm) pitch across a 7-row by 16-column configuration. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address packaging preferences, inventory availability, and regulatory compliance requirements across different procurement scenarios.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1410187-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type and Style: Both parts must be VITA 46 Center plugs with male blades
Position Count and Layout: 112 positions with identical signal pair, single signal, and ground distribution
Pitch and Physical Dimensions: 0.071" (1.80mm) pitch maintained across 7 rows and 16 columns
Mounting Configuration: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting with press-fit termination
Contact Specifications: Gold finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
Environmental Ratings: UL94 V-0 flammability and -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range
Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 classification

The substitute part 1410187-3 meets all these criteria, differing only in packaging format (tube versus bulk) and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1410187-4 (Bulk Packaging)

Select this part number for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The bulk packaging format suits high-volume production environments and automated assembly processes. This configuration is appropriate for designs subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations or equivalent compliance frameworks.

1410187-3 (Tube Packaging)

This substitute part is functionally and mechanically identical to the 1410187-4 but carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. The tube packaging format is suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly operations, or legacy system maintenance where regulatory compliance requirements differ from the main part specification. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, environmental ratings, and mechanical compatibility.

Both parts are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the MULTIGIG RT2 series and are suitable for daughtercard backplane connector applications requiring VITA 46 Center configuration with 112 positions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1410187-4 and 1410187-3 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact specifications. They differ only in packaging format (bulk versus tube) and regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 1410187-4 is RoHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status and ships in bulk packaging. The 1410187-3 is RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, and ships in tube packaging. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for European Union applications?

A: The 1410187-4 is the appropriate selection for applications subject to EU RoHS3 requirements. The 1410187-3 does not meet these compliance standards.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings. Selection between these formats depends on procurement volume, assembly methodology, and storage requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts are listed as active products. The 1410187-4 has 2100 pieces in stock; the 1410187-3 has 4030 pieces in stock.

Q: Can the 1410187-3 be used in applications where RoHS3 compliance is required?

A: No. The 1410187-3 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for applications with RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with a thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm), ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across the 112-position connector.
