Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1473393-2 rectangular receptacle connector is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Contact Type: Female Socket contacts
• Number of Positions: 6-position contact arrangement
• Number of Rows: Single-row configuration
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Cable Termination: Crimp termination method
• Wire Type: Discrete wire application
• Wire Gauge: 16-20 AWG compatibility
• Features: Assembly Kit designation

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment:

• RoHS3 Compliance status
• REACH Unaffected classification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must satisfy all primary criteria simultaneously. Deviations in connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting orientation, termination method, or wire gauge specifications render a component incompatible for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

No substitute parts have been provided in the input data. The substitute part list is currently null, indicating that equivalent alternatives are not available within the current reference database for the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1473393-2.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1473393-2 is designated as obsolete. Current inventory of 1,139 pieces is available in new original condition. The component maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying modern regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

For applications currently utilizing the 1473393-2, component selection strategy depends on inventory availability and design timeline. Existing stock supports near-term production requirements. Long-term applications require identification of functionally equivalent rectangular receptacle connectors meeting the specified parameter set: 6-position, single-row, female socket, crimp-terminated, 16-20 AWG discrete wire, free-hanging configuration.

The MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating indicates minimal moisture sensitivity, supporting storage and handling flexibility across standard industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a connector a valid substitute for the 1473393-2?

A: A substitute connector must be a 6-position, single-row rectangular receptacle with female socket contacts, crimp termination capability, support for 16-20 AWG discrete wires, and free-hanging in-line mounting. All parameters must align simultaneously; partial matches do not constitute valid substitution.

Q: Why is the 1473393-2 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. However, current inventory of 1,139 pieces remains available in new original condition, supporting existing applications and near-term production needs.

Q: Does the MSL 1 rating affect storage or handling requirements?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations. Standard industrial storage and handling practices are sufficient; specialized moisture control measures are not required.

Q: Are there compatibility considerations between the 1473393-2 and mating connectors?

A: The 1473393-2 is a receptacle connector designed to mate with corresponding plug connectors. Mating connector selection must account for the 6-position, single-row configuration and crimp contact interface.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance for this connector?

A: ROHS3 compliance certifies the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting specified hazardous materials. This status is required for applications in regulated markets and modern electronic equipment.

Q: Can the 1473393-2 be used with different wire gauges?

A: The 1473393-2 is specified for 16-20 AWG wire gauge only. Wire gauges outside this range are not compatible with the crimp termination contacts.
