TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 184099-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 184099-1 is a 12-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with a 4.80mm pitch. This component is classified as a Last Time Buy product, indicating limited future availability. The SSC series connector features a free-hanging, in-line mounting configuration with crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for design continuity, supply chain management, and long-term product support when the primary part reaches end-of-life status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a part qualifies as an equivalent or substitute:

Critical 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 composition (Polyamide-based, Glass Filled)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)

Parts 184115-1 and 184097-1 satisfy all critical matching parameters and maintain compliance requirements, establishing them as valid substitutes for 184099-1 within the SSC series rectangular connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

184115-1 Selection Criteria: Part 184115-1 is classified as Active product status, providing superior long-term availability compared to the Last Time Buy designation of 184099-1. This part maintains full RoHS compliance and identical MSL rating. The insulation material composition differs slightly (PA46 versus PA), representing a polyamide variant within the same material family. All electrical and mechanical parameters align with 184099-1, establishing 184115-1 as the primary substitute for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

184097-1 Selection Criteria: Part 184097-1 shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with 184099-1, including matching insulation material composition and ROHS3 compliance status. However, 184097-1 carries Last Time Buy product status, similar to the main part. This part functions as a parametric equivalent suitable for direct replacement in existing applications but does not address supply continuity concerns associated with end-of-life products.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and RoHS compliance, ensuring compatibility with standard handling and environmental requirements. ECCN and HTSUS classifications remain consistent across all three parts, supporting regulatory and customs documentation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 184115-1 be used as a direct replacement for 184099-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Part 184115-1 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 12-position plug connector, 4.80mm pitch, 2-row configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. The polyamide insulation material variant (PA46) remains within the same material family as the original part (PA). Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 184099-1 and 184097-1?

A: Parts 184099-1 and 184097-1 are parametric equivalents with identical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both use the same insulation material composition and carry ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is inventory availability, with 184097-1 currently stocked at 898 pieces.

Q: Why is 184115-1 recommended over 184097-1 for new applications?

A: Part 184115-1 carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Parts 184099-1 and 184097-1 are both designated Last Time Buy, signaling limited future production. For applications requiring long-term supply assurance, 184115-1 provides superior lifecycle continuity while maintaining full parametric compatibility.

Q: Are there any operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature data is not provided for 184099-1 and 184097-1. Part 184115-1 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. When operating temperature specifications are critical to application requirements, 184115-1 provides documented thermal performance parameters.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. All three parts (184099-1, 184115-1, and 184097-1) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure 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 Secondary Locking Device is specified for 184099-1 and 184097-1 but not documented for 184115-1. This feature provides additional mechanical retention for contacts within the housing. When secondary locking is a functional requirement, verify 184115-1 compatibility with application specifications or consider 184097-1 as an alternative.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-moisture environments?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors are suitable for standard industrial and commercial environments without special moisture control measures during storage or handling.
