TE Connectivity 1-480349-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-480349-2 is a 1-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series. This component is a red polyamide (nylon) housing designed for crimp contact termination with friction lock fastening. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color requirements differ from the primary red housing, when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing, or when design specifications permit color variation while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-480349-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 1
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Series: Commercial MATE-N-LOK
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors

Variable Parameter (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Color: Red (primary part) vs. Natural or Black (substitute parts)

The substitute parts 1-480349-0 and 1-480400-0 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part 1-480349-2. The only difference is housing color, which does not affect functional performance, contact compatibility, or thermal/environmental ratings. Both substitute parts are Active status products with equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (1-480349-2): The TE Connectivity 1-480349-2 red connector plug housing is the specified component when red color coding is a design or assembly requirement. This part maintains Active product status with RoHS Compliance certification and is currently in stock with 26,855 pieces available.

Substitute Part 1-480349-0 (Natural Color): The 1-480349-0 natural-colored housing is functionally equivalent to the primary part across all electrical and mechanical parameters. This substitute is suitable when color differentiation is not required or when natural color coding is preferred for circuit identification. The part carries ROHS3 Compliance certification and has 2,000 pieces in stock. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when inventory of the primary red housing is constrained.

Substitute Part 1-480400-0 (Black Color): The 1-480400-0 black-colored housing provides identical functional performance to the primary part. This substitute is appropriate for applications where black color coding is specified or preferred. The part carries ROHS3 Compliance certification and has 20,427 pieces in stock, providing robust availability for high-volume applications.

All three parts are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series. Selection between these parts should be based solely on color requirement specifications and inventory availability, as all other parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-480349-0 (natural) or 1-480400-0 (black) housings be used in place of the 1-480349-2 (red) housing?

A: Yes. The 1-480349-0 and 1-480400-0 are parametric equivalents to the 1-480349-2. All three parts share identical connector type, contact type, number of positions, mounting type, contact termination method, fastening type, insulation material, operating temperature range, and moisture sensitivity level. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color specification does not restrict component selection.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the three substitute options?

A: No. All three parts—1-480349-2, 1-480349-0, and 1-480400-0—are 1-position rectangular connector plug housings with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and friction lock fastening. They operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and share the same insulation material composition. Electrical performance is equivalent across all three part numbers.

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

A: Color serves as a visual identifier for circuit organization and assembly traceability. The red (1-480349-2), natural (1-480349-0), and black (1-480400-0) housings allow for color-coded connector systems. Selection of a specific color should be based on design documentation or assembly requirements. From a functional standpoint, color does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The primary part 1-480349-2 is RoHS Compliant. The substitute parts 1-480349-0 and 1-480400-0 are ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connector housings?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Contacts are not included with the housing; they must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing during assembly.

Q: Can these 1-position housings be used interchangeably with other MATE-N-LOK series connectors?

A: These parts are 1-position housings within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series. Interchangeability is limited to other 1-position MATE-N-LOK components with identical connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and termination method (crimp). Consult the complete MATE-N-LOK product family documentation for compatibility with other position configurations.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The 1-480349-2 (red) has 26,855 pieces in stock. The 1-480349-0 (natural) has 2,000 pieces in stock. The 1-480400-0 (black) has 20,427 pieces in stock. All parts are listed as New Original In Stock.
