Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-480349-5 are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

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 to 105°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Series: Commercial MATE-N-LOK

Variable Parameters (Non-Substitution Criteria):

• Color: Green, Red, or Black
• Product Status: Obsolete or Active
• Packaging: Bulk or standard

All identified substitute parts maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 1-480349-5 while differing only in color designation and product availability status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 1-480400-0

The 1-480400-0 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 1-480349-5. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. Inventory availability of 20,427 units supports sustained procurement requirements. The black color designation does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and serves as a functional alternative in applications where color coding is not a system-critical requirement.

Secondary Substitute: 1-480349-2

The 1-480349-2 provides an alternative substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification with significantly higher inventory availability (26,855 units). The red color designation functions equivalently to the original green housing in terms of electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between 1-480400-0 and 1-480349-2 depends on color-coding requirements within the target application or system architecture.

Obsolete Part Transition:

The 1-480349-5 is classified as obsolete. Continued reliance on this part number is not recommended for new designs or long-term production planning. Both substitute parts provide immediate alternatives with active manufacturing status and superior inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically identical to the 1-480349-5?

A: Yes. The substitute parts 1-480349-2 and 1-480400-0 maintain complete electrical equivalence with the 1-480349-5 across all specified parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, termination method, operating temperature range, and moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Does the color difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Color designation is a visual identification feature only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility. The green (1-480349-5), red (1-480349-2), and black (1-480400-0) housings are functionally interchangeable within the MATE-N-LOK series.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturing and support from TE Connectivity. Substitute parts with active status provide assured long-term availability, consistent quality control, and continued technical support. Obsolete parts face potential discontinuation and supply constraints.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 1-480349-5 is listed with unspecified packaging, while both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Either 1-480400-0 or 1-480349-2 is suitable for new designs. Selection depends on color-coding requirements within the application. Both parts carry active product status and provide equivalent performance.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part (1-480349-5) carries ROHS3 compliance. Substitute 1-480400-0 also carries ROHS3 compliance. Substitute 1-480349-2 carries RoHS compliance. All parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance management.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute parts maintain complete mechanical and electrical equivalence with the 1-480349-5. Direct substitution is supported across all specified parameters.
