Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-963715-5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the Micro Quadlok connector series. The substitute part 6-963715-5 shares the same base product number (963715), indicating common design lineage and contact geometry. Both parts function as socket contacts with crimp termination for 18-20 AWG wire and gold contact finish. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active. The substitute part maintains compatibility through identical contact type, termination method, wire gauge rating, and contact material specifications. Packaging configuration differs between the two parts, with the substitute supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-963715-5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1-963715-5. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for socket contact function, crimp termination, wire gauge compatibility, and gold contact finish. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 export classification. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for high-volume production environments. Selection of the 6-963715-5 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full compatibility with existing connector assemblies and system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-963715-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-963715-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with identical crimp termination, 18-20 AWG wire gauge rating, and gold contact finish. The base product number is the same (963715), confirming design compatibility. The primary difference is product status: the original is obsolete while the substitute is active.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number prefix (1- versus 6-)?

A: The prefix variation indicates different packaging or distribution configurations. The 1-963715-5 does not specify packaging details, while the 6-963715-5 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both parts are functionally equivalent for connector assembly applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 export classification. The substitute part lists REACH as unaffected, while the original part lists REACH status as vendor undefined. Both parts maintain the same Moisture Sensitivity Level classification.

Q: What wire gauge range does this socket contact support?

A: Both the main part and substitute are rated for 18-20 AWG wire. This specification applies to the crimp termination and must be observed during assembly to ensure proper contact retention and electrical performance.

Q: Is the gold contact finish specification identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold contact finish for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. Contact finish thickness is not specified in the available documentation for either part.
