TE Connectivity 147118-2 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 147118-2 is a surface mount rectangular connector header designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts, unshrouded configuration, and solder termination. The part operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and is constructed from liquid crystal polymer insulation with gold-plated mating contacts.

The 147118-2 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original inventory is depleted or when design updates require active production-line components with current manufacturer support and availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 147118-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (8)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)

Material & Environmental Specifications:

• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited)

Regulatory & Compliance:

• RoHS compliance status
• ECCN classification (EAR99)
• HTSUS code (8536.69.4040)

The substitute part 5-147118-2 maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status (obsolete versus active) and minor variations in contact finish specifications on the post termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-147118-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 147118-2. Both components share identical mechanical, electrical, and environmental specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Product Status Consideration: The 147118-2 is classified as obsolete, while 5-147118-2 maintains active product status. Active status indicates current manufacturing support, documented availability, and ongoing compliance verification by TE Connectivity.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040). Both are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability and operate across the full temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Contact Finish Specification: The substitute part 5-147118-2 specifies Tin contact finish on the post termination, whereas the original 147118-2 specifies Tin-Lead. This change reflects modern manufacturing practices and RoHS compliance requirements. The mating contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin) remains identical in both parts.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

For applications requiring the 147118-2, the 5-147118-2 substitute provides equivalent performance with the advantage of active product status and current manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 147118-2 and 5-147118-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical mechanical specifications: 8-position, single-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Physical dimensions, contact geometry, and mounting footprints are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these parts?

A: The original 147118-2 uses Tin-Lead finish on the post (solder termination), while the substitute 5-147118-2 uses Tin-only finish. Both maintain identical Gold plating (30.0µin) on the mating contacts. The Tin-only specification on the substitute reflects current RoHS-compliant manufacturing standards.

Q: Can I use 5-147118-2 in place of 147118-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-147118-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts operate across -65°C to 105°C, maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and carry RoHS compliance. The substitute is suitable for direct replacement in board-to-board and cable connector applications.

Q: Why is the original 147118-2 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 5-147118-2 represents the current active equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 147118-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5-147118-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical regulatory classifications: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040, RoHS compliance, and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Both are REACH-affected components.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.

Q: Can I mix 147118-2 and 5-147118-2 components in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or application.
