TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1488903-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1488903-1 is an 8-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector housing accommodates female socket contacts and is configured for free-hanging, in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material in black color.

The 1488903-1 maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected classification. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative procurement channels.

• Number of Positions: 8-position housing
• Pitch Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center distance
• Row Configuration: Single row layout
• Mounting Method: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch Holder engagement
• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Housing Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes for the 1488903-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1488903-1 and 1924639-2 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Regulatory Compliance: The 1488903-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while the 1924639-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts meet REACH Unaffected requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Inventory Availability: The 1924639-2 maintains higher inventory levels (9069 Pcs) compared to the 1488903-1 (765 Pcs), making it suitable for applications requiring extended lead time assurance or bulk procurement.

Tariff Classification: The 1488903-1 is classified under HTSUS 8536.69.8000, while the 1924639-2 is classified under HTSUS 8538.90.6000. Tariff implications should be evaluated based on import/export requirements.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 8-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connector housings with crimp termination and latch holder fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1488903-1 and 1924639-2 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, housing material, and color. They are parametric equivalents.

Q: What is the significance of the different RoHS classifications?

A: The 1488903-1 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current RoHS 3 directive compliance. The 1924639-2 is RoHS Compliant, indicating RoHS directive compliance. Both designations confirm lead-free and restricted substance compliance. Selection depends on specific regulatory requirements for your application region.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 1488903-1 and 1924639-2 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. The housings are designed to accommodate crimp-terminated female socket contacts.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm), representing the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. This specification is critical for mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and contact insertion. Both substitute parts maintain identical pitch specifications.

Q: Can these housings be used in different mounting orientations?

A: These housings are specified for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting configuration. This mounting type defines the connector orientation and installation method. Both substitute parts maintain this specification.

Q: What material is the housing constructed from?

A: Both housings are constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a thermoplastic material selected for electrical insulation properties and mechanical durability. The material is black in color for both parts.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicate?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. They do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored under standard environmental conditions.
