Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity Internal Substitutes (Recommended for Direct Replacement):

The TE Connectivity 104482-2 (AMPMODU series) provides the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) while maintaining ROHS3 compliance and thermoplastic insulation. This part offers superior thermal performance compared to the original 1-968291-2 and carries the highest inventory availability at 4,789 pieces.

The TE Connectivity 926209-3 shares identical insulation material composition (PBT, glass-filled) with the original part and maintains RoHS compliance. With 15,131 pieces in stock, this part provides maximum supply availability and material consistency for applications requiring PBT-specific properties.

The TE Connectivity 926476-3 combines ROHS3 compliance with thermoplastic insulation and maintains the -65°C to 105°C operating range. This part offers a balance between compliance status and thermal performance with 6,352 pieces available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-968291-2 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: All listed substitutes maintain identical connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), position count (6), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and contact termination (crimp). Direct form-fit-function replacement is supported across all substitutes without modification to mating connectors or PCB layouts.

Q: What is the primary difference between the original 1-968291-2 and its substitutes?

A: The original 1-968291-2 operates across -40°C to 120°C with PBT glass-filled insulation and ROHS3 compliance. Most substitutes extend the lower temperature bound to -65°C while varying the upper limit between 105°C and 125°C. Insulation materials vary across substitutes (thermoplastic, polyamide, polyester, polyphenylene) but all maintain glass-filled or modified polymer construction. All substitutes maintain ROHS compliance and unlimited MSL rating.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance?

A: The TE Connectivity 104482-2 provides the widest operating temperature range at -65°C to 125°C, exceeding the original part's upper limit by 5°C. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended high-temperature operation while maintaining ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 926209-3 offers the highest inventory availability at 15,131 pieces, followed by the Molex 0022566067 at 10,867 pieces. The Amphenol ICC 65043-034LF carries the lowest inventory at 827 pieces. Inventory levels should be evaluated against project lead times and supply chain requirements.

Q: Can the green-colored 925370-3 be used in applications requiring black connectors?

A: The 925370-3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-968291-2 but features green insulation material instead of black. Color selection depends on application requirements for visual identification or connector differentiation. Electrical performance and mechanical compatibility remain identical.

Q: What compliance certifications are maintained across all substitutes?

A: All substitutes maintain RoHS compliance (either RoHS or ROHS3 designation). The original 1-968291-2 and substitutes 104482-2, 926476-3, and 0022566067 carry ROHS3 compliance. All parts maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), supporting standard storage and handling conditions without special environmental controls.

Q: Are there material-specific considerations when selecting between substitutes?

A: Yes. The original 1-968291-2 and 926209-3 use PBT glass-filled insulation. The 104482-2, 87977-1, and 926476-3 use thermoplastic materials. The 2-87977-8 and 87456-1 use polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled materials. The 87133-7 and 0022566067 use polyester glass-filled materials. The 925370-3 uses PA66 nylon 6/6 glass-filled material. The 65043-034LF uses modified polyphenylene. Material selection should align with application requirements for chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.

Q: Do all substitutes support crimp-type contact termination?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain crimp-type contact termination, ensuring compatibility with existing crimp tooling and contact specifications. No changes to termination methodology are required when transitioning between the original part and any substitute.
