Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors - Micro Quadlok Series:

Part 953119-2 provides direct series compatibility with the primary part 1-968322-1, sharing identical insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled) and series designation. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The primary difference is color (brown versus black) and a reduced maximum operating temperature of 100°C versus 120°C. This part is suitable for applications where Micro Quadlok series continuity is required and operating temperatures do not exceed 100°C.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors - AMPMODU Mod IV Series:

Parts 1-87456-6, 1-925367-0, and 87977-8 represent alternative series from TE Connectivity with extended lower operating temperature limits (-65°C versus -40°C). These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Part 1-87456-6 (black, PA nylon) and 87977-8 (black, thermoplastic) are suitable for applications requiring broader temperature ranges. Part 1-925367-0 (green, PA66 nylon) provides the same functionality with color differentiation. All three are ROHS compliant.

Molex SL 70450 Series:

Parts 0022552203 and 0022566207 are functionally equivalent Molex alternatives with polyester glass-filled insulation. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C. These parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where Molex sourcing is preferred or required.

Molex C-Grid III 90143 Series:

Part 0901430020 features polyphenylene oxide (PPO) insulation with extended lower temperature capability (-55°C) and ROHS3 compliance. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced low-temperature performance while maintaining the 20-position, 2.54mm pitch interface.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Series:

Part 65043-027LF (Mini-PV™, Basics+) and part 65239-010LF (DUBOX™, MezzSelect™, Basics+) are functionally equivalent alternatives from Amphenol ICC. Part 65043-027LF operates from -40°C to 105°C with modified polyphenylene insulation. Part 65239-010LF extends the upper operating temperature to 125°C with thermoplastic glass-filled insulation and operates from -65°C, providing the broadest temperature range among all listed substitutes. Both are RoHS compliant.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All listed substitute parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. ROHS3 compliance is maintained across TE Connectivity and Molex parts. Amphenol ICC parts carry RoHS compliance. REACH status varies: TE Connectivity 1-968322-1 is REACH Unaffected; Molex parts are REACH Unaffected; Amphenol ICC parts are REACH Affected. Selection should account for end-application regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute part 1-87456-6 for the original 1-968322-1 in my application?

A: Yes, part 1-87456-6 is functionally equivalent. Both are 20-position receptacle housings with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. The primary differences are series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV versus Micro Quadlok), insulation material (PA nylon versus PBT), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 120°C). If your application operates within -65°C to 105°C, this part is directly substitutable.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok and AMPMODU Mod IV series?

A: Both series provide 20-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical interfaces. The series designation refers to the connector family and design lineage. Micro Quadlok (parts 1-968322-1 and 953119-2) and AMPMODU Mod IV (parts 1-87456-6, 1-925367-0, and 87977-8) are separate product families from TE Connectivity. Substitution between series is based on matching the core electrical and mechanical parameters, not series compatibility.

Q: Why does part 65239-010LF have a higher maximum operating temperature (125°C) than the original part (120°C)?

A: Part 65239-010LF uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, which provides enhanced thermal stability compared to the PBT glass-filled material in the original part. The higher temperature rating reflects the material properties of the insulation compound. Both parts are suitable for applications operating at 120°C; the 65239-010LF provides additional thermal margin.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: TE Connectivity and Molex parts in the substitute list are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol ICC parts (65043-027LF and 65239-010LF) carry RoHS compliance. ROHS3 is a more recent regulatory standard than RoHS. Verify your application's specific compliance requirements before selection.

Q: Can I use part 953119-2 (brown) instead of 1-968322-1 (black) for color-coded applications?

A: Part 953119-2 is functionally equivalent to 1-968322-1 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. However, the color difference (brown versus black) may be significant in applications where connector color serves as a functional identifier or visual reference. Verify that color substitution does not conflict with your application's design or assembly requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Molex parts 0022552203 and 0022566207?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent 20-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings from the Molex SL 70450 series. They share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, insulation material (polyester glass-filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), and ROHS3 compliance. The part numbers reflect different base product designations (002255 versus 002256) but represent equivalent components for substitution purposes.

Q: Which substitute part has the broadest operating temperature range?

A: Part 65239-010LF (Amphenol ICC) operates from -65°C to 125°C, providing the broadest temperature range among all listed substitutes. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended low-temperature and high-temperature performance while maintaining the 20-position, 2.54mm pitch interface.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All listed parts, including the original 1-968322-1 and all substitutes, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that replacement contacts are compatible with the selected housing's contact termination type (crimp) and position count (20).

Q: What does "Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)" mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling. This rating applies to all listed parts and indicates that standard storage conditions are acceptable without desiccant packaging or controlled humidity environments.
