TE Connectivity 1-965982-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-965982-1 is a tab contact connector component designed for rectangular connector applications within the MCP 2.8 series. This part is classified as a crimp-style tab contact rated for 20-24 AWG wire gauges with tin plating finish. The component is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Obsolete status necessitates sourcing from available inventory or identifying active production alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-965982-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series designation (MCP 2.8)
• Contact type (Tab)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Wire gauge rating (20-24 AWG)
• Contact finish material (Tin)
• Contact finish thickness (39.4µin / 1.00µm)
• Base product number (965982)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000)

The substitute part 5-965982-1 maintains complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging configuration (unspecified versus cut tape). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Procurement:

The substitute part 5-965982-1 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring the MCP 2.8 series tab contact specification. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The active status eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the 1-965982-1.

For Existing Inventory Management:

The 1-965982-1 remains functionally equivalent and may be utilized from existing stock when available. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and export classification requirements (EAR99). The 1066-piece inventory of the main part provides a transition window for design migration or component consumption.

Compliance Considerations:

Both parts maintain identical regulatory standing under ROHS3 and REACH classifications. The ECCN designation (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000) are consistent across both parts, supporting equivalent procurement and logistics handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-965982-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1-965982-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5-965982-1 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters including wire gauge, contact finish, termination method, and series designation. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing and supply availability. The 1-965982-1 (obsolete) has concluded production, while 5-965982-1 (active) remains in current production. For new designs and long-term procurement, the active part ensures supply continuity.

Q: Does packaging format affect component compatibility?

A: Packaging format (cut tape versus unspecified) affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Component selection should account for assembly equipment compatibility and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. Regulatory and export requirements are equivalent.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these tab contacts?

A: Both parts support 20-24 AWG wire gauge range. This specification determines the acceptable conductor cross-sectional area for crimp termination.

Q: Is the tin plating thickness identical between parts?

A: Yes. Both parts specify 39.4µin (1.00µm) contact finish thickness, ensuring equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical contact characteristics.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it affect storage?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard storage conditions are appropriate without desiccant or controlled humidity requirements.
