Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector socket contacts is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series (AMPMODU Mod IV)
• Pin or Socket designation (Socket)
• Contact Termination method (Crimp)
• Wire Gauge range (20-24 AWG)
• Contact Finish type and thickness (Gold, 15.0µin)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 2-87523-3 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part 1-87523-5. The only difference between these components is the packaging format: the primary part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both parts share the same base product number (87523) and are derived from the same product family within the AMPMODU Mod IV series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-87523-5 and 2-87523-3 are Active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility within the AMPMODU Mod IV series. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and compliance requirements:

Part 1-87523-5 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where Tape & Reel packaging is required for pick-and-place equipment integration.

Part 2-87523-3 (Cut Tape): Suitable for applications requiring Cut Tape packaging format. This part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, providing additional regulatory compliance documentation for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Both parts are functionally equivalent for socket contact applications requiring 20-24 AWG crimp termination with gold plating at 15.0µin thickness. Component selection should be based on assembly process requirements and packaging compatibility with production equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 1-87523-5 and 2-87523-3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with identical electrical specifications: 20-24 AWG wire gauge, crimp termination, gold contact finish at 15.0µin thickness, and MSL 1 rating. They are derived from the same base product number (87523) within the AMPMODU Mod IV series.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for manual assembly or equipment with different tape handling specifications.

Q: Can I use part 2-87523-3 in place of 1-87523-5 in my assembly process?

A: Substitution depends on your assembly equipment compatibility. If your equipment accepts Cut Tape (CT) format, part 2-87523-3 is mechanically and electrically equivalent. If your equipment requires Tape & Reel (TR) format, part 1-87523-5 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean for part 2-87523-3?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates that part 2-87523-3 meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. This certification is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 20-24 AWG wire gauges and utilize identical crimp termination specifications, making them suitable for equivalent wire gauge applications.

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

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions without moisture control requirements.
