Matching Parameters:

• 14-position configuration
• 1.00mm pitch spacing
• Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Bottom-mounted contact configuration
• 200V voltage rating
• 1A current rating
• -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range
• 0.101" (2.56mm) height above board
• 0.30mm FFC thickness
• Slide lock locking mechanism
• Solder retention and ZIF features
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled housing

• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Differentiating Parameters:

• Packaging format: 1-487952-4 supplied in Bulk; 1-84952-4 supplied in Tape & Reel (TR)
• Contact finish: 1-487952-4 has Tin-Lead finish (150.0µin / 3.81µm); 1-84952-4 has Tin finish (78.7µin / 2.00µm)
• RoHS compliance: 1-487952-4 is RoHS non-compliant; 1-84952-4 is ROHS3 compliant
• Actuator material specification: 1-84952-4 specifies Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled

Substitution is valid when packaging format and compliance requirements align with application specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-487952-4 (Bulk Packaging)

Select this part number when:

• Bulk packaging format is required for manufacturing processes
• RoHS non-compliant applications are acceptable
• Tin-Lead contact finish (150.0µin / 3.81µm) meets application requirements
• Inventory sourcing from bulk stock is preferred

1-84952-4 (Tape & Reel Packaging)

Select this part number when:

• Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly equipment
• ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements
• Tin contact finish (78.7µin / 2.00µm) is compatible with application soldering processes
• Higher inventory availability (10,258 pcs) supports production schedules

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and thermal operating characteristics. Selection between these substitutes is determined by packaging requirements and compliance certifications rather than functional differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 1-487952-4 and 1-84952-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical ratings (200V, 1A), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and functional features (ZIF, solder retention, slide lock). The 14-position, 1.00mm pitch configuration is identical across both part numbers.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and compliance status. 1-487952-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. 1-84952-4 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Additionally, contact finish specifications differ: 1-487952-4 uses Tin-Lead (150.0µin), while 1-84952-4 uses Tin (78.7µin).

Q: Can I use 1-84952-4 as a direct replacement for 1-487952-4 in my assembly process?

A: Substitution is valid if your assembly process accommodates Tape & Reel packaging and if ROHS3 compliance is acceptable or required. The mechanical and electrical performance are equivalent. Verify that your soldering process is compatible with the Tin contact finish specification of 1-84952-4.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: For new designs, 1-84952-4 is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance status and higher inventory availability. If your application specifically requires RoHS non-compliant components or bulk packaging, 1-487952-4 remains available.

Q: Are there any height or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical height above board (0.101" / 2.56mm) and FFC thickness (0.30mm). PCB footprints and mechanical mounting are identical.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness, and does it affect performance?

A: 1-487952-4 has Tin-Lead finish at 150.0µin (3.81µm), while 1-84952-4 has Tin finish at 78.7µin (2.00µm). Both finishes provide adequate contact durability and electrical performance within the specified 1A current rating and 200V voltage rating. Selection depends on soldering process compatibility and compliance requirements.

Q: Is the Moisture Sensitivity Level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
