Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 147279-6 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU Mod II connector series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (24)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)

Material and Construction Parameters:

• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. The 5-147279-6 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements for the 147279-6 within the same AMPMODU Mod II series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-147279-6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 147279-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMPMODU Mod II series. The substitute part maintains complete mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original specification.

Product Status Consideration: The 147279-6 is classified as obsolete, while the 5-147279-6 is active product status. Selection of the active substitute part ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for new production and replacement applications.

Compliance Status: The main part 147279-6 is RoHS Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The substitute part 5-147279-6 includes additional material flammability rating specification (UL94 V-0) and current rating specification (3A), providing enhanced documentation for safety and performance characteristics.

Inventory Availability: The 5-147279-6 substitute part has higher inventory availability (1092 Pcs) compared to the obsolete 147279-6 (646 Pcs), supporting reliable procurement for ongoing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-147279-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 147279-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-147279-6 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 147279-6. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), contact materials, and insulation specifications. Surface mount footprints are identical, allowing direct PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 147279-6 is classified as obsolete product status. The 5-147279-6 is the manufacturer-recommended active substitute, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability for production applications.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications between the two parts?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The contact finish thickness differs slightly: the 147279-6 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm), while the 5-147279-6 specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm). Both finishes meet the functional requirements for the 0.100" pitch header connector application. The post finish differs: 147279-6 uses tin-lead, while 5-147279-6 uses tin.

Q: What are the key mechanical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (Header, Breakaway), contact type (Male Pin), position count (24), row count (2), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (Surface Mount), termination method (Solder), contact material (Copper Alloy), and insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer).

Q: Does the substitute part have additional performance specifications?

A: The 5-147279-6 includes material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and current rating (3A) specifications not provided for the 147279-6. These specifications document additional safety and performance characteristics of the active substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 147279-6 is specified as RoHS Compliant. The 5-147279-6 compliance status is not explicitly stated in the provided data. Verification of RoHS compliance for the substitute part through TE Connectivity documentation is recommended for applications with specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the substitute part?

A: The 147279-6 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). The MSL specification for the 5-147279-6 is not provided in the available data. Consultation of the substitute part's technical documentation is recommended for applications with specific moisture sensitivity requirements.
