Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

1456987-3 and 1456987-7 are direct TE Connectivity AMP Connectors variants with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 1456987-1. Both maintain the same polyamide insulation material, pitch, position count, and row configuration. The 1456987-3 is preferred for new designs due to its Active product status and higher inventory availability (1731 pieces). The 1456987-7 carries a Last Time Buy status and should be used only when 1456987-3 is unavailable.

Secondary Substitutes (Cross-Manufacturer Options):

IPD1-04-D (Samtec Inc.) and 69153-033LF (Amphenol ICC) provide cross-manufacturer alternatives with identical core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both are Active products with adequate inventory. The IPD1-04-D features polyamide insulation without glass filling, while 69153-033LF uses modified polyphenylene insulation. Both support the full operating temperature range specified in the application requirements.

Extended Temperature Applications:

1745000-3 (TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok series) and 9-965382-2 (TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok series) offer extended operating temperature ranges. The 1745000-3 operates from -25°C to 85°C, while 9-965382-2 extends to -40°C to 130°C. These parts are suitable for applications requiring temperature performance beyond standard specifications. The 9-965382-2 features polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation and blue housing color, with significantly higher inventory availability (39023 pieces).

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1456987-7 and IPD1-04-D carry ROHS3 certification, representing the most current regulatory standard. The 1745000-3 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined, while 69153-033LF indicates REACH Affected status. The 1456987-1, 1456987-3, and IPD1-04-D maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1456987-3 be used as a direct replacement for 1456987-1?

A: Yes. The 1456987-3 is a parametric equivalent with identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. Both use polyamide (PA66) glass-filled insulation and maintain MSL 1 rating. The 1456987-3 is preferred due to Active product status and higher inventory.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors variants and the Samtec IPD1-04-D?

A: The IPD1-04-D differs in manufacturer (Samtec vs. TE Connectivity), housing color (white vs. black), and insulation material composition (polyamide without glass filling vs. glass-filled polyamide). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. The IPD1-04-D is suitable for applications where manufacturer diversification is required.

Q: When should 9-965382-2 be selected over 1456987-1?

A: The 9-965382-2 should be selected when applications require extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C) or when polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation material is specified. The 9-965382-2 also offers significantly higher inventory availability (39023 pieces). Housing color is blue rather than black.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same contact pins?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (8), row configuration (2 rows), and crimp termination specifications. Contact compatibility depends on the specific contact part number used, which is not included with these housing components. Contacts must be selected separately based on application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for 1456987-7?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that 1456987-7 will not be replenished after current inventory is depleted. This part should be used only when primary alternatives (1456987-3) are unavailable. For new designs or long-term production, 1456987-3 or cross-manufacturer alternatives are recommended.

Q: Can color differences between substitute parts affect functionality?

A: Housing color (black, white, or blue) is a cosmetic and identification feature that does not affect electrical or mechanical functionality. Color selection may be driven by application aesthetics, PCB assembly standards, or internal company specifications. All substitute parts with different colors maintain identical electrical performance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connector housings?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. This applies to the connector housings themselves. Moisture sensitivity considerations may apply to pre-assembled components or when contacts are installed.

Q: Are there operating temperature limitations for 1456987-1?

A: The 1456987-1 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, 1745000-3 (-25°C to 85°C), 69153-033LF (-40°C to 105°C), or 9-965382-2 (-40°C to 130°C) should be selected based on specific temperature requirements.
