Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 184097-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Core Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.189" (4.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Color: Black
• Insulation Material: Polyamide-based, Glass Filled
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts 184099-1 and 184115-1 maintain identical values across all core matching parameters. Variations exist in product status, operating temperature specification, and insulation material composition (PA versus PA46), but these do not affect the mechanical and electrical interchangeability of the connector housing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

184097-1 (Main Part): This component is designated Last Time Buy with ROHS3 compliance. Current inventory of 898 pieces is available. Selection of this part is appropriate for existing designs with established supply chains, provided procurement occurs within the Last Time Buy window.

184099-1 (Parametric Equivalent): This substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the 184097-1, including the same insulation material composition and secondary locking device feature. It carries Last Time Buy status with ROHS3 compliance and 872 pieces in inventory. This part is directly interchangeable with 184097-1 for applications requiring equivalent performance characteristics.

184115-1 (Active Substitute): This part is classified as Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity. It maintains all critical parametric equivalence with the main part across connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. The insulation material is specified as PA46 (Polyamide 4/6) rather than PA, and operating temperature is defined as -40°C to 150°C. This part carries RoHS compliance and has the highest current inventory at 1006 pieces. Selection of 184115-1 is appropriate for new designs requiring extended product lifecycle support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 184097-1, 184099-1, and 184115-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical specifications for connector type (plug), position count (12), pitch (4.80mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch holder), and color (black). They are mechanically interchangeable in applications designed for any of these part numbers.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used in these parts?

A: The 184097-1 and 184099-1 specify Polyamide (PA) nylon with glass fill. The 184115-1 specifies Polyamide (PA46) nylon 4/6 with glass fill. Both material compositions are polyamide-based and glass-filled, maintaining equivalent mechanical and electrical properties for the connector housing application.

Q: Why is 184115-1 listed as Active while 184097-1 and 184099-1 are Last Time Buy?

A: Product status reflects the manufacturer's lifecycle designation. The 184115-1 Active status indicates ongoing production and long-term availability. The Last Time Buy status for 184097-1 and 184099-1 indicates these parts are being phased out. For new designs or applications requiring extended supply assurance, 184115-1 is the recommended selection.

Q: Does the operating temperature specification of 184115-1 affect substitution compatibility?

A: The 184115-1 specifies operating temperature as -40°C to 150°C. The 184097-1 and 184099-1 do not include operating temperature specifications in the provided data. For applications operating within the -40°C to 150°C range, 184115-1 is suitable. Applications requiring confirmation of temperature performance for 184097-1 or 184099-1 require reference to complete technical documentation.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the crimp termination method and 12-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the Secondary Locking Device feature?

A: The 184097-1 and 184099-1 include a secondary locking device feature. The 184115-1 does not list this feature in the provided data. The secondary locking device provides additional retention security for the connector assembly. Applications requiring this feature should specify 184097-1 or 184099-1.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 184097-1 and 184099-1 are ROHS3 compliant. The 184115-1 is RoHS compliant. Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations and are suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
