TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1456985-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1456985-3 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component is a female socket receptacle with crimp termination and latch holder fastening, manufactured from glass-filled polyamide (PA66, Nylon 6/6). The part is actively produced and maintained in inventory, serving as a standard interface component in electronic assemblies requiring modular connector solutions. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, and equivalent functional requirements across compatible connector families.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1456985-3 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Color (Black)
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide/Nylon, Glass Filled)

Secondary Compliance Criteria:

• Operating temperature range compatibility
• RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL)

The identified substitutes maintain full parametric alignment with the main part across all critical mechanical and electrical interfaces. Variations in series designation, base product number, and specific material grade designations do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1456985-1 Substitution: The 1456985-1 maintains complete parametric equivalence to the 1456985-3 across all critical mechanical and electrical specifications. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. Operating temperature range, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings are identical. This part is suitable for direct substitution without design modification.

2035363-3 Substitution: The 2035363-3 provides parametric equivalence across all primary mechanical and electrical interfaces. The part maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, and termination specifications. The operating temperature range is reduced to -40°C ~ 100°C compared to the main part specification of -40°C ~ 125°C. This substitution is suitable for applications operating within the -40°C ~ 100°C envelope. The part carries ROHS3 compliance and holds active product status. REACH status is listed as vendor undefined; clarification with the supplier is necessary for applications requiring explicit REACH compliance documentation.

Compliance Considerations: All three parts are actively produced and maintain RoHS compliance. The 1456985-3 and 1456985-1 are explicitly REACH Unaffected. The 2035363-3 carries ROHS3 compliance and requires vendor clarification on REACH status for regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1456985-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1456985-3? A: Yes. The 1456985-1 is parametrically equivalent across all critical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, contact termination, and operating temperature range. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1456985-3 and 2035363-3? A: The primary difference is the maximum operating temperature. The 1456985-3 operates to 125°C, while the 2035363-3 operates to 100°C. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent across all other parameters. Selection depends on the application's thermal requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The 1456985-3 and 1456985-1 are RoHS Compliant. The 2035363-3 is ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. No baking or desiccant storage is required prior to assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same assembly? A: The 1456985-3 and 1456985-1 are fully interchangeable. The 2035363-3 is interchangeable provided the application operates within the -40°C ~ 100°C temperature range. All three parts share identical mechanical interfaces, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration.

Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers 1456985 and 2035363? A: The base product numbers indicate different product families within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors line. The 2035363 series is designated as Generation Y. Despite different base numbers, the specific part variants (1456985-3, 1456985-1, and 2035363-3) maintain parametric equivalence for the specified 6-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housing application.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings? A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the crimp termination specification and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch requirement.

Q: What is the REACH status difference between the parts? A: The 1456985-3 and 1456985-1 are listed as REACH Unaffected. The 2035363-3 is listed as Vendor Undefined for REACH status. For applications requiring explicit REACH compliance documentation, clarification with the supplier is necessary for the 2035363-3.
