Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 149013-4 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Voltage Rating: 30VAC
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 125°C
• Series: Micro-Strip

The substitute part 5149013-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and regulatory compliance, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5149013-4 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 149013-4. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical functional parameters, including contact configuration, pitch spacing, voltage rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinctions between the two parts are:

Product Status: The 149013-4 is classified as obsolete, while the 5149013-4 is active. This status difference reflects current manufacturing availability and long-term supply chain viability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5149013-4 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 149013-4 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance difference is significant for applications subject to RoHS directives and environmental regulations.

Contact Finish - Post: The 149013-4 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5149013-4 features Tin post finish. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with press-fit and solder termination methods.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 5149013-4 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and RoHS compliance. For legacy system maintenance where the original 149013-4 is required, the 5149013-4 provides functional and dimensional compatibility with enhanced regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 149013-4 and 5149013-4 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including position count (100), row configuration (2 rows), pitch spacing (1.27mm), shrouding design (4-wall), and mounting type (through-hole). Mated stacking heights and insulation dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin?

A: The 149013-4 uses Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5149013-4 uses Tin post finish. Both maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The Tin finish in the 5149013-4 reflects RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes are compatible with press-fit and solder termination methods.

Q: Why is the 149013-4 listed as obsolete?

A: The 149013-4 is classified as obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status and the availability of the active equivalent 5149013-4. The 5149013-4 provides the same functional performance with current regulatory compliance.

Q: Can the 5149013-4 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 149013-4?

A: Yes. The 5149013-4 is functionally and dimensionally equivalent to the 149013-4 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The connector maintains the same voltage rating (30VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), contact configuration, and board-to-board interface specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 149013-4 has 896 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 5149013-4 has 838 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are there any differences in the electrical performance between these two connectors?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including voltage rating (30VAC), current rating (varies by wire gauge), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), and contact material (phosphor bronze with gold mating finish).

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both the 149013-4 and 5149013-4 are designed for board-to-board interconnection applications requiring 100-position, dual-row connectors with push-pull fastening and shrouded design. The ground bus feature supports applications requiring ground plane connectivity.
