Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-440129-3 are classified based on strict equivalence of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (13)
• Pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Color (Natural)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer and series designation
• Insulation material composition (thermoplastic vs. polyamide)
• Operating temperature range
• Fastening type features
• Inventory availability

Parts meeting all critical matching parameters are classified as parametric equivalents or similar alternatives suitable for direct substitution in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical interface requirements are maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-179228-3 (TE Connectivity CT Series)

The 1-179228-3 is a parametric equivalent offering identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications to the 1-440129-3. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The 1-179228-3 features an extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) compared to the main part (-25°C to 85°C), providing thermal performance margin in applications requiring broader temperature operation. This part is suitable for direct substitution where connector housing compatibility is the primary selection criterion.

PHR-13 (JST PH Series)

The PHR-13 is a similar alternative from JST Sales America Inc., maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including 13-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. This part includes a detent lock fastening feature not specified in the main part. The PHR-13 operates within the same temperature range as the main part (-25°C to 85°C) and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity. Selection of this alternative introduces a different manufacturer ecosystem and may require evaluation of connector mating interface compatibility with existing plug housings.

Both substitute parts are actively manufactured and maintain full regulatory compliance status, supporting long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-179228-3 be used as a direct replacement for 1-440129-3?

A: Yes. The 1-179228-3 maintains identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, and termination type. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity. The primary difference is the extended operating temperature range of the 1-179228-3, which does not restrict substitution in applications operating within the original part's temperature limits.

Q: What is the key difference between PHR-13 and the main part 1-440129-3?

A: The PHR-13 is manufactured by JST rather than TE Connectivity and belongs to the PH series instead of HPI. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters. The PHR-13 includes a detent lock fastening feature. Compatibility depends on whether existing mating connectors are designed for JST PH series housings or TE Connectivity HPI/CT series housings.

Q: Are there insulation material differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1-440129-3 uses thermoplastic insulation, while both 1-179228-3 and PHR-13 use polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 insulation. Both material compositions are suitable for the specified operating temperature ranges and environmental conditions. Material selection should be evaluated based on application-specific chemical resistance or mechanical requirements.

Q: Do all three parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. All three parts are 13-position receptacle housings with female socket contacts designed for crimp termination. Contacts are not included with any of these housings and must be sourced separately. Contact specifications must match the 2.00mm pitch and crimp termination requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the detent lock feature on PHR-13?

A: The detent lock on PHR-13 provides mechanical retention between mating connector pairs. The main part 1-440129-3 and 1-179228-3 do not specify this feature. If mechanical locking is required for the application, PHR-13 offers this capability. If the application does not require detent locking, this feature does not restrict substitution.

Q: Are all parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: All three parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature ranges differ: 1-440129-3 and PHR-13 operate from -25°C to 85°C, while 1-179228-3 operates from -30°C to 105°C. Selection should match the application's actual operating temperature requirements.
