Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across mechanical and electrical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a part qualifies as a direct substitute for the 147279-1:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 6
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch spacing (mating): 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing (mating): 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact length (mating): 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation height: 0.090" (2.29mm)
• Contact shape: Square
• Contact finish (mating): Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Insulation color: Black

The substitute part 5-147279-1 meets all primary substitution criteria. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-147279-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 147279-1. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and contact materials.

Product Status Consideration: The 147279-1 is classified as obsolete, while 5-147279-1 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and design continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part 5-147279-1 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the main part's RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected designations. This represents an improvement in regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production.

Packaging: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly operations and provides improved handling characteristics compared to unspecified packaging.

Selection Basis: Component selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, compliance requirements for the target application, and packaging preferences for manufacturing processes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-147279-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 147279-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-147279-1 is a direct substitute with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, contact configuration, and termination method are equivalent. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 147279-1 is obsolete, meaning TE Connectivity no longer manufactures or supports this part. The 5-147279-1 is active, indicating ongoing production and availability. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there differences in the contact finish specifications?

A: The mating contact finish is identical for both parts: gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The post contact finish differs slightly: the main part uses tin-lead plating while the substitute uses tin plating. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected status mean for the substitute part?

A: REACH Unaffected status indicates that the 5-147279-1 does not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) listed under the REACH regulation. This represents improved regulatory compliance compared to the main part's REACH Affected status and simplifies compliance documentation for applications subject to REACH requirements.

Q: Does the Cut Tape packaging of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is a standard format for automated assembly operations and does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. The packaging difference relates only to handling and assembly process compatibility, not component functionality.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating environments?

A: Both parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. No environmental compatibility differences exist between the two parts.
