TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1470201-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1470201-2 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 2.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This connector is part of the High Performance Interconnect (HPI) series and maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1470201-2 maintains compatibility with parametrically equivalent housings from alternative manufacturers that share the same pitch, position count, contact type, and termination method.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1470201-2 is determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical dimensions:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic or Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBTP)
• Color: Natural or Red
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity, Molex, or Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series designation: HPI, 51005, or DF3

The substitute parts listed below satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and represent direct functional equivalents for the 1470201-2 in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical requirements are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 1470201-2 (TE Connectivity)

The 1470201-2 maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. This part is recommended for new designs and applications requiring long-term supply continuity.

Secondary Selection: 0510050200 (Molex)

The Molex 0510050200 provides parametric equivalence with ROHS3 compliance and substantial inventory availability (215,801 pieces). However, this part carries Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. The 0510050200 is suitable for applications where immediate supply is required or where design flexibility permits PBTP insulation material substitution for the thermoplastic specified in the primary part.

Tertiary Selection: DF3-2S-2C(18) (Hirose)

The Hirose DF3-2S-2C(18) meets all mandatory parametric requirements with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. This part is designated Obsolete and carries limited inventory (10,818 pieces). The DF3-2S-2C(18) is suitable only for replacement applications in existing designs where the red housing color is functionally acceptable or where legacy component specifications require Hirose sourcing.

Selection Logic:

Selection between these three parts is determined by product lifecycle status and supply requirements. Active status of the 1470201-2 provides the longest supply window. Last Time Buy status of the 0510050200 indicates a defined end-of-life date with finite inventory. Obsolete status of the DF3-2S-2C(18) restricts its use to maintenance and repair applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0510050200 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1470201-2?

A: Yes. The 0510050200 meets all mandatory parametric requirements: 2-position receptacle, female socket contacts, 2.00mm pitch, single row, free-hanging in-line mounting, and crimp termination. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and RoHS compliance. The insulation material differs (PBTP versus Thermoplastic), but this variation is within allowable substitution parameters for this connector category.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the Molex 0510050200?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that Molex has announced a defined end-of-life date for this part. Customers have a final window to purchase inventory before production ceases. After this date, the 0510050200 will no longer be available from the manufacturer. Current inventory of 215,801 pieces represents the final available stock.

Q: Why is the Hirose DF3-2S-2C(18) listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Hirose has discontinued production and no longer manufactures this part. The DF3-2S-2C(18) is available only through existing inventory channels. With 10,818 pieces in stock, this part is restricted to replacement and repair applications in existing designs only.

Q: Does the red color of the DF3-2S-2C(18) affect electrical performance compared to the natural color of the 1470201-2?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical performance, impedance, or signal integrity. The red housing of the DF3-2S-2C(18) is functionally equivalent to the natural housing of the 1470201-2. Color selection is determined by design documentation, assembly identification requirements, or customer preference.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (1470201-2, 0510050200, and DF3-2S-2C(18)) are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that replacement contacts match the crimp termination specification and are compatible with the 2.00mm pitch requirement.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 Directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements. ROHS3 represents the current standard and is preferred for new designs.

Q: Can I use the 0510050200 in a design originally specified for the 1470201-2?

A: Yes, provided that the design documentation permits material substitution (PBTP for Thermoplastic) and that no specific TE Connectivity series requirement is mandated. The parametric equivalence of pitch, position count, contact type, and termination method ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility. Verify that no design constraints restrict the substitution before implementation.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: The 1470201-2 (Active status, 874 pieces) provides the longest supply window for new designs. The 0510050200 (Last Time Buy status, 215,801 pieces) offers higher immediate availability but with a defined end-of-life date. The DF3-2S-2C(18) (Obsolete status, 10,818 pieces) is restricted to maintenance applications only. For production designs, prioritize the 1470201-2. For high-volume immediate requirements, the 0510050200 is suitable if the Last Time Buy window remains open.
