Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 146020-1 PCMCIA card connector is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Card Type: PCMCIA
• Connector Type: Ejector
• Insertion, Removal Method: Push In, Push Out
• Ejector Side: Left
• Mounting Type: Snap-In
• Category: Memory Connectors

The substitute part 146019-1 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters, establishing functional equivalence for PCMCIA card connector applications. Both connectors share identical mechanical and functional specifications within the scope of provided data, with the primary distinction being compliance certification status and base product number designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 146019-1 serves as a direct substitute for the 146020-1 based on functional equivalence across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both connectors are classified as obsolete products within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors portfolio.

The 146019-1 provides enhanced compliance documentation, with ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the 146020-1 which carries undefined REACH status and not applicable RoHS designation. Both connectors maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) classification of 1 (Unlimited) and share the same export control classification (ECCN: EAR99) and tariff code (HTSUS: 8473.30.5100).

Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements specific to the application and end-use environment. The 146019-1 is suitable for applications requiring documented RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 146019-1 directly replace the 146020-1 in existing PCMCIA card connector applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for card type (PCMCIA), connector type (ejector), insertion/removal method (push in, push out), ejector side (left), and mounting type (snap-in). Functional compatibility is established across all provided mechanical and electrical parameters.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are compliance certifications and base product number designation. The 146019-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, while the 146020-1 has not applicable RoHS status and vendor undefined REACH status. Both are obsolete products.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for selecting between these parts?

A: Current inventory levels differ between the two parts. The 146020-1 has 753 pieces in stock, while the 146019-1 has 696 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.

Q: Do these connectors have different mounting configurations?

A: Both connectors use snap-in mounting type. The 146019-1 specifies normal, standard top mounting feature, while this parameter is not specified for the 146020-1. The snap-in mounting mechanism is identical between both parts.

Q: Are there any export or tariff code differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS tariff code (8473.30.5100), indicating no differences in export control or tariff treatment.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these PCMCIA connectors?

A: Both the 146020-1 and 146019-1 carry MSL classification of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
