Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 480487-4 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete part number 1-480487-4. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Consideration: The main part 1-480487-4 carries Obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The substitute part 480487-4 maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing supply chain access and manufacturing support from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Compliance and Certification Alignment: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.6000) classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency. The main part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification; the substitute part RoHS status is listed as Not applicable, which does not indicate non-compliance but rather a different classification methodology.

Functional Equivalence: All critical parameters determining terminal compatibility are identical between the two parts: terminal type, gender, size, position count, mounting configuration, material composition, and environmental rating. The substitute part 480487-4 is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently specified for 1-480487-4.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Bag packaging, whereas the main part packaging is not specified. This difference does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 480487-4 be used as a direct replacement for 1-480487-4?

A: Yes. The substitute part 480487-4 is functionally equivalent to 1-480487-4. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including terminal type, gender, size, mounting configuration, and material composition. The primary difference is product status: 480487-4 is Active while 1-480487-4 is Obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers 1-480487-4 and 480487-4?

A: The part numbers differ only in the prefix designation. The 1- prefix in 1-480487-4 is not present in 480487-4. Both designations refer to the same FASTON 187 FLAG INSL POD NYLON L terminal from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The non-prefixed version 480487-4 is the current Active part number.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 480487-4 for 1-480487-4?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are 1 Position Housing Connectors with Female Receptacle gender, 0.187" (4.75mm) terminal size, and identical mounting types (Free Hanging In-Line and Right Angle). They are constructed from the same material (Polyamide PA66 Nylon 6/6) and share identical environmental ratings (MSL 1 Unlimited).

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The main part 1-480487-4 has unspecified packaging, while the substitute part 480487-4 is supplied in Bag packaging. This packaging difference does not affect the functional performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical compatibility of the terminal.

Q: Why is 1-480487-4 listed as Obsolete?

A: The Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity AMP Connectors has discontinued manufacturing of this part number. The substitute part 480487-4 maintains Active status and represents the current production equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The main part 1-480487-4 is explicitly ROHS3 Compliant. The substitute part 480487-4 lists RoHS Status as Not applicable. This difference in classification does not indicate non-compliance; it reflects different regulatory documentation methodologies. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the inventory availability for these parts?

A: The main part 1-480487-4 has 1155 Pcs New Original In Stock. The substitute part 480487-4 has 2771 Pcs New Original In Stock, providing greater availability for procurement.
