Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 148-90040 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Both parts are Butt Splice connectors with closed-end, individual openings configuration
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both support 12-22 AWG wire termination
• Number of Wire Entries: Both accommodate six wire entries
• Termination Method: Both utilize push-in termination technology
• Insulation Classification: Both are fully insulated
• Color Specification: Both feature transparent purple coloring
• Manufacturer: Both are HellermannTyton products within the same base product family (148-90 series)
• Regulatory Classification: Both carry EAR99 ECCN and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS codes

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and series designation: 148-90004 belongs to the HelaCon Plus series (obsolete), while 148-90040 belongs to the HelaCon Plus Mini series (active production).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 148-90040 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 148-90004. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire termination applications. The 148-90040 carries current RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting contemporary regulatory requirements. Selection of 148-90040 is appropriate for new designs and replacement procurement where the 148-90004 is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 148-90040 directly replace 148-90004 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical terminal type, wire gauge range (12-22 AWG), number of wire entries (6), termination method (push-in), insulation classification, and color specification. The parts are functionally equivalent for butt splice connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between HelaCon Plus and HelaCon Plus Mini series?

A: The series designation indicates product line evolution within HellermannTyton's connector portfolio. Both series maintain the same electrical and mechanical parameters for this specific part number. The Mini designation reflects design refinement in the active product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 148-90004 packaging specification is not provided in available data. The 148-90040 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Does the MSL difference affect substitution?

A: The 148-90004 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while 148-90040 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This reflects different data classification methodologies between obsolete and active product documentation. For connector terminals, MSL classification does not impact functional substitution.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: The 148-90040 carries explicit RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts share the same EAR99 ECCN and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS classification. For applications requiring current regulatory compliance documentation, 148-90040 is the appropriate selection.
