Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1587975-1 is based on strict equivalence across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute parts maintain identical configurations in connector type (header), position count (2), row configuration (1 row), mounting methodology (panel mount), contact termination approach (crimp), and fastening mechanism (locking ramp). All substitute parts feature sealed construction and comply with RoHS requirements.

The primary substitution criterion is functional and dimensional compatibility across these core parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Features: Sealed

All identified substitute parts (2103124-1, 2103124-2, 2103124-5, and 1-2103124-1) satisfy these requirements and are classified as active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (2103124-1, 2103124-2, 2103124-5, and 1-2103124-1) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 1587975-1 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

Product Status: All substitute parts maintain active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

RoHS Compliance: Parts 2103124-1 and 1-2103124-1 carry ROHS3 certification, representing the most current regulatory compliance standard. Parts 2103124-2 and 2103124-5 maintain RoHS compliance. Selection of ROHS3-certified alternatives (2103124-1 or 1-2103124-1) aligns with current environmental regulations.

Packaging: All substitute parts are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling.

Operating Temperature: Part 1-2103124-1 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 140°C, providing defined thermal performance parameters. Other substitute parts do not specify operating temperature limits in the provided data.

Color Specification: Part 1-2103124-1 is identified with orange color and belongs to the HVA 280 series, distinguishing it from unspecified color variants in other substitutes.

For applications requiring defined thermal performance specifications, 1-2103124-1 is the recommended selection. For general applications where color and thermal specifications are not critical, 2103124-1 or 2103124-2 provide equivalent functionality with active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the obsolete 1587975-1 be directly replaced with any of the substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts (2103124-1, 2103124-2, 2103124-5, and 1-2103124-1) are functionally equivalent to 1587975-1 across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, mounting configuration, contact termination, and fastening mechanism.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts differ in product status (all are active), RoHS certification level (2103124-1 and 1-2103124-1 are ROHS3 compliant), color designation (1-2103124-1 is orange), series classification (1-2103124-1 belongs to HVA 280 series), and operating temperature specification (1-2103124-1 specifies -40°C to 140°C). All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, 2103124-1 or 1-2103124-1 are recommended due to ROHS3 compliance certification. If thermal performance specifications are required, 1-2103124-1 with its defined -40°C to 140°C operating range is the appropriate selection. If color specification is not a design requirement, 2103124-1 provides equivalent functionality.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in tray packaging, ensuring compatibility with standard component handling and automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the insulation material differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part 1587975-1 does not specify insulation material in the provided data. All substitute parts specify Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled insulation material, providing documented material composition for design verification.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) designation?

A: The MSL rating indicates moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly. The main part and most substitutes (2103124-1, 2103124-2, 2103124-5) carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Part 1-2103124-1 carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts comply with RoHS requirements. Parts 2103124-1 and 1-2103124-1 carry ROHS3 certification, representing the current regulatory standard. All parts are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and share identical HTSUS tariff classification (8538.90.6000).
