Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-487952-6 (Main Part):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: Non-compliant
• REACH Status: Vendor Undefined
• Suitable for applications without RoHS or REACH compliance requirements

1-84952-6 (Substitute Part):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance
• Higher inventory availability (18702 pieces)
• Lower contact finish thickness (78.7µin vs. 150.0µin)

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability. The substitute part 1-84952-6 provides enhanced compliance status for applications subject to RoHS3 and REACH regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-84952-6 directly replace 1-487952-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters including 16 positions, 1.00mm pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, 200V voltage rating, 1A current rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The connectors are functionally equivalent for circuit design purposes.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The main part 1-487952-6 is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part 1-84952-6 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulations must use 1-84952-6.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Yes. The main part 1-487952-6 has a contact finish thickness of 150.0µin (3.81µm), while the substitute part 1-84952-6 has a contact finish thickness of 78.7µin (2.00µm). Both use Tin finish on Phosphor Bronze contacts and meet the specified electrical performance requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, 1-84952-6 is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, ensuring compatibility with current regulatory requirements. The higher inventory availability also supports production scheduling.

Q: Are the packaging specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator material difference?

A: The substitute part 1-84952-6 specifies Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled actuator material, while the main part does not specify this parameter. This material composition supports the enhanced compliance certifications of the substitute part.

Q: Do both parts support zero insertion force (ZIF) operation?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) operation with slide lock mechanism, enabling tool-free mating and demating.
