TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1456985-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1456985-5 is a 6-position rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector operates as a free-hanging in-line component with crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status, supporting applications requiring reliable female socket connectivity in standard pitch configurations. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, alternative series options, or specific compliance requirements while maintaining functional equivalence within defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (6), pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch holder), and color (black). All identified substitute parts maintain these core specifications without deviation.

The substitute parts 1456985-3 and 2035363-3 are classified as parametric equivalents based on matching all mandatory functional and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material composition (polyamide PA66 versus polyamide PA), operating temperature upper limit (125°C versus 100°C for part 2035363-3), and series designation (standard versus Generation Y) do not preclude substitution when application requirements fall within the overlapping performance envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1456985-3 Selection Criteria: Part 1456985-3 is a direct parametric equivalent to 1456985-5 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The 1456985-3 variant is suitable for applications requiring the same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and insulation material composition. This substitute provides equivalent performance with higher current inventory availability (1841 Pcs versus 1089 Pcs).

2035363-3 Selection Criteria: Part 2035363-3 functions as a parametric equivalent within applications where the maximum operating temperature requirement does not exceed 100°C. This part is designated as Generation Y series and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The insulation material composition differs slightly (polyamide PA versus PA66), though both formulations are glass-filled nylon variants. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined for this part. Selection of 2035363-3 is appropriate for standard industrial applications operating within the reduced temperature envelope, with the advantage of highest inventory availability (4944 Pcs).

Compliance Considerations: All three parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and EAR99 export control designation. Applications requiring explicit REACH compliance documentation should prioritize 1456985-5 or 1456985-3 over 2035363-3 due to vendor-defined REACH status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1456985-3 be used as a direct replacement for 1456985-5? A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: 6-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 125°C. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1456985-5 and 2035363-3? A: The primary difference is the maximum operating temperature specification. Part 1456985-5 operates to 125°C, while 2035363-3 operates to 100°C. Additionally, 2035363-3 is designated as Generation Y series with polyamide PA insulation material versus PA66 in the main part. All other functional and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Is 2035363-3 suitable for high-temperature applications? A: Part 2035363-3 is rated for operation up to 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C should utilize 1456985-5 or 1456985-3, both rated to 125°C.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings? A: No. All three parts (1456985-5, 1456985-3, and 2035363-3) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL Level 1 rating? A: MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control storage conditions prior to assembly or use.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs? A: Interchangeability is confirmed for 1456985-5 and 1456985-3 across all specifications. Part 2035363-3 is interchangeable provided the application operating temperature does not exceed 100°C and REACH compliance requirements are not mandated.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant designations? A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. The distinction in labeling reflects different documentation or certification dates but does not indicate functional differences in hazardous substance restriction.
