Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 147047-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within applications designed for the original component.

The substitute parts identified are:

• TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1379029-5 (Micro Quadlok series, gray housing)
• Molex 0050579704 (SL 70066 series, black housing)
• Samtec Inc. IPD1-04-S (Mini Mate® IPD1 series, white housing)

These parts differ only in housing color, insulation material composition, operating temperature ranges, and product status (active versus obsolete), while maintaining full parametric equivalence for the core connector function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection among the substitute parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Compliance: All three substitute parts (1379029-5, 0050579704, and IPD1-04-S) are active products with current manufacturing support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original 147047-2. All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

Thermal Performance: The Molex 0050579704 operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) compared to the TE Connectivity 1379029-5 (-40°C to 85°C). Selection should reflect the thermal requirements of the target application.

Material Composition: Insulation material differs among substitutes. The TE Connectivity 1379029-5 uses glass-filled PBT, the Molex 0050579704 uses glass-filled polyester, and the Samtec IPD1-04-S uses nylon 6/6. Material selection impacts chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and environmental performance.

Inventory Availability: The Molex 0050579704 maintains the highest inventory level (33,171 pieces), followed by TE Connectivity 1379029-5 (3,467 pieces) and Samtec IPD1-04-S (1,049 pieces).

Housing Color Considerations: Housing color differences (green original, gray, black, or white substitutes) may impact visual identification and assembly traceability in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original 147047-2?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, number of rows, mounting type, contact termination, and fastening type. These parameters define functional compatibility for receptacle housing applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 147047-2?

A: The original part is classified as obsolete. The three identified substitutes are active products with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring long-term procurement availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Do housing color differences affect connector performance?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification feature only. Color differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical function. Selection should be based on application requirements for visual identification or assembly documentation.

Q: What are the material differences among the substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1379029-5 uses glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The Molex 0050579704 uses glass-filled polyester. The Samtec IPD1-04-S uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Material selection impacts chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and environmental performance characteristics.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest operating temperature range?

A: The Molex 0050579704 operates from -40°C to 105°C, providing a 20°C higher upper temperature limit compared to the TE Connectivity 1379029-5 (-40°C to 85°C). The Samtec IPD1-04-S operating temperature range is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original 147047-2 has RoHS status listed as not applicable due to its obsolete classification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts?

A: All parts, including the original 147047-2 and all substitutes, have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts, including the original 147047-2 and all substitutes, are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with the housing component.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current inventory availability?

A: The Molex 0050579704 has the highest inventory level at 33,171 pieces in stock, followed by TE Connectivity 1379029-5 at 3,467 pieces and Samtec IPD1-04-S at 1,049 pieces.
