TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1971030-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1971030-8 is an 8-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with a 2.00mm pitch. This connector belongs to the Grace Inertia (GIC) series and features female socket contacts with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative configurations, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where specific design constraints permit variation in non-critical attributes such as housing color.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1971030-8 are identified based on strict equivalence of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for substitution validity:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Series: Grace Inertia, GIC
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 2-1971030-8 maintains all critical parameters. Variation in housing color (Natural versus Blue) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and is therefore permitted as a substitution criterion.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1971030-8 and 2-1971030-8 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Grace Inertia series. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

The primary distinction between these parts is housing color: Natural for 1971030-8 and Blue for 2-1971030-8. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding housing color identification or visual coding standards. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics and regulatory compliance status. The choice between these substitutes does not impact electrical functionality, mechanical fit, or environmental performance within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1971030-8 be used as a direct replacement for 1971030-8?

A: Yes. The 2-1971030-8 substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The housing color difference (Blue versus Natural) does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or electrical properties.

Q: What parameters determine substitution validity for these connector housings?

A: Substitution validity is determined by equivalence in connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination method, fastening type, and series designation. Both parts meet these criteria. Housing color is not a limiting factor for substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between 1971030-8 and 2-1971030-8?

A: Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, MSL Level 1 classification, ECCN designation (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.69.8000). No compliance or certification differences exist between these parts.

Q: Does the operating temperature range differ between these parts?

A: The main part 1971030-8 specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The substitute part 2-1971030-8 does not include operating temperature specification in the provided data. Applications requiring confirmed temperature performance should reference the main part specification.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both 1971030-8 and 2-1971030-8 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as required for your application.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used in free-hanging or in-line applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting type, indicating compatibility with applications requiring in-line connector configuration without panel mounting.
