TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-85969-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-85969-9 is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for crimp termination applications. This component is part of the AMPMODU Mod IV series and features gold plating for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. The part is RoHS compliant and carries an unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating, making it suitable for general industrial and commercial applications.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory constraints require component alternatives that maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-85969-9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Socket contact type (Pin or Socket designation)
• Crimp termination method (Contact Termination)
• Gold contact finish (Contact Finish)
• Wire gauge compatibility (20-24 AWG range)
• RoHS compliance status
• Rectangular connector category classification

The substitute part 76347-312LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) meets these core requirements. However, the wire gauge specification differs: the substitute supports 20-22 AWG, which represents a subset of the main part's 20-24 AWG range. This narrower gauge specification must be evaluated against application requirements. Both parts maintain gold contact finish, crimp termination, and RoHS compliance, establishing functional equivalence within the overlapping wire gauge range of 20-22 AWG.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (TE Connectivity 1-85969-9): Select the primary part when applications require wire gauge support across the full 20-24 AWG range. This part is active and maintains full RoHS compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Current inventory status shows 822 pieces available.

Substitute Part Selection (Amphenol ICC 76347-312LF): The Amphenol ICC 76347-312LF substitute is applicable for applications limited to 20-22 AWG wire gauges. This part is active and maintains identical RoHS compliance and MSL ratings. The substitute features increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), which provides enhanced durability in high-cycle insertion applications. Current inventory shows 18,680 pieces available, providing superior supply availability.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, supporting equivalent regulatory and trade compliance requirements. Both maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for equivalent environmental operating conditions.

Wire Gauge Consideration: Applications utilizing 23-24 AWG wire gauges require the primary TE Connectivity part, as the substitute does not support this range. Applications limited to 20-22 AWG wire gauges may utilize either part based on inventory and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 76347-312LF substitute for the TE Connectivity 1-85969-9 in all applications?

A: The Amphenol ICC substitute is compatible with applications using 20-22 AWG wire gauges. Applications requiring 23-24 AWG wire support must use the primary TE Connectivity part, as the substitute does not support these gauges.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The Amphenol ICC substitute features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating compared to the TE Connectivity part's 15.0µin (0.38µm). Thicker plating provides extended durability in high-cycle insertion and withdrawal applications and enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the TE Connectivity 1-85969-9 and Amphenol ICC 76347-312LF are RoHS compliant and carry identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-85969-9 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The Amphenol ICC 76347-312LF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format selection depends on assembly line requirements and component handling procedures.

Q: Are the export classifications identical?

A: Yes, both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, supporting equivalent export and trade compliance requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new design implementations?

A: For new designs, evaluate wire gauge requirements. If the application operates within 20-22 AWG range, either part is suitable. The Amphenol ICC substitute offers superior inventory availability (18,680 pieces) and enhanced contact finish thickness. For applications requiring 23-24 AWG support, the TE Connectivity primary part is required.
