Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector tab contacts is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Manufacturer and Series Consistency: Both the main part and substitute must originate from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the MCP series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector system.

Contact Configuration: The tab contact type and crimp termination method must remain constant across substitutions to maintain compatibility with existing mating connectors and assembly tooling.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate the specified wire gauge range. The main part supports 22-24 AWG, while the substitute supports 22-23 AWG, representing a subset of the original specification that remains compatible for applications using 22-23 AWG wire.

Contact Finish: Tin finish must be maintained to ensure consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts must meet RoHS requirements and maintain MSL 1 rating for storage and handling compatibility.

Product Status: The substitute part must be active and available to provide ongoing supply chain support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-1418758-1 is an active equivalent within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors MCP series. Both parts maintain identical contact configuration, termination method, and contact finish specifications. The substitute part is manufactured using a stamped process and supports wire gauge 22-23 AWG, which represents a compatible subset of the original 22-24 AWG specification.

Selection of the substitute part is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming compatibility with existing storage, handling, and assembly protocols.

For applications utilizing 22-23 AWG wire, the substitute part 5-1418758-1 provides direct functional equivalence. Applications requiring 24 AWG wire support should be evaluated against the wire gauge limitation of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-1418758-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1418758-1 in all applications?

A: The substitute part 5-1418758-1 is compatible for applications using 22-23 AWG wire. The original part supports 22-24 AWG, so applications specifically requiring 24 AWG wire support should be evaluated separately.

Q: What is the difference between the manufacturing processes of these two parts?

A: The main part 1418758-1 does not specify a manufacturing type, while the substitute part 5-1418758-1 is manufactured using a stamped process. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the supported wire gauge range.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance ratings equivalent between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The main part carries ROHS3 designation while the substitute carries RoHS designation. Both meet regulatory requirements for the MCP series rectangular connectors.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part 5-1418758-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format. The main part packaging format is not specified in the available documentation.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical between the parts?

A: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity handling requirements and storage compatibility.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The main part 1418758-1 is classified as obsolete, which is why the active substitute part 5-1418758-1 is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
