Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 2103124-4

The 2103124-4 is the recommended primary substitute for the obsolete 1587975-4. This part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. It achieves ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the original part. The 2103124-4 is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains 1000 pieces in current inventory stock.

Secondary Substitutes: 2103124-2 and 2103124-5

Both 2103124-2 and 2103124-5 are active alternatives with RoHS Compliant certification. These parts are supplied in tray packaging with inventory levels of 1194 and 768 pieces respectively. Selection between these options depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability at the time of procurement.

Specialized Substitute: 1-2103124-1

The 1-2103124-1 is designated as a parametric equivalent with enhanced specifications. This part features ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 140°C. The MSL rating is Not Applicable, indicating superior moisture handling characteristics. This part is supplied in tray packaging with 914 pieces in inventory. The 1-2103124-1 is identified by orange color designation and HVA 280 series classification.

All substitute parts share identical mechanical and electrical parameters with the main part across connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Selection among active alternatives should prioritize product status, compliance certifications, and packaging format requirements for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2103124-4 directly replace the 1587975-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2103124-4 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 2-position header connector, panel mount configuration, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and sealed construction. The part is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts in terms of compliance?

A: The 1-2103124-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, representing the highest compliance level among substitutes. The 2103124-4 achieves ROHS3 compliance with Vendor Undefined REACH status. The 2103124-2 and 2103124-5 maintain RoHS Compliant status with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk, tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is determined by procurement volume, handling requirements, and inventory management practices. The 2103124-4 is supplied in bulk packaging, while 1-2103124-1, 2103124-2, and 2103124-5 are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature specification on the 1-2103124-1?

A: The 1-2103124-1 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 140°C. This documented specification provides explicit thermal performance boundaries for applications requiring temperature-dependent reliability data. Other substitute parts do not include specified operating temperature values in their documentation.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts in this substitution group, including the main part 1587975-4 and all substitute parts, are supplied as housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately.

Q: What does MSL rating indicate for these parts?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture during storage and handling. The 1587975-4, 2103124-4, 2103124-2, and 2103124-5 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. The 1-2103124-1 is rated Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity classification requirement.

Q: Can the 1-2103124-1 be used in applications where the original 1587975-4 was specified?

A: Yes. The 1-2103124-1 is a parametric equivalent with enhanced specifications. It maintains all mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters while providing superior compliance certifications and documented operating temperature range. The orange color designation is the only visual distinction.
