Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-111446-4 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the AMP-Latch rectangular connector series. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 44
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Wire Gauge: 26-28 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Features: Feed Through
• Color: Black
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility with existing mating connectors, cable assemblies, and printed circuit board layouts. Variations in fastening type or product status do not affect functional interchangeability when all other parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-111504-3 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 2-111446-4. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including position count, pitch, row configuration, termination method, and contact characteristics.

Product Status Consideration: The 2-111446-4 is classified as obsolete, while the 2-111504-3 maintains active product status. Selection of the 2-111504-3 ensures access to current manufacturing, quality assurance processes, and ongoing supplier support.

Compliance and Certification: The 2-111504-3 carries REACH Unaffected status, providing defined regulatory compliance documentation. The 2-111446-4 lists REACH Status as Vendor Undefined. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4051) classifications.

Fastening Enhancement: The 2-111504-3 incorporates Latch Lock/Eject Hooks fastening, providing mechanical retention features not specified in the 2-111446-4. This enhancement does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability with existing mating connectors or cable assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-111446-4 and 2-111504-3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 44 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, and IDC termination for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable.

Q: Are the 2-111446-4 and 2-111504-3 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical parameters including 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, free hanging in-line mounting, and feed-through capability. The 2-111504-3 includes Latch Lock/Eject Hooks fastening, which does not prevent mating with existing connector receptacles or cable assemblies designed for the 2-111446-4.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-111446-4 and 2-111504-3?

A: The primary differences are product status and fastening type. The 2-111446-4 is obsolete with unspecified fastening, while the 2-111504-3 is active with Latch Lock/Eject Hooks fastening. The 2-111504-3 also carries defined REACH Unaffected status compared to the 2-111446-4's Vendor Undefined status.

Q: Can I use the 2-111504-3 as a replacement in existing designs using the 2-111446-4?

A: Yes. The 2-111504-3 maintains full compatibility with existing mating connectors, cable assemblies, and printed circuit board layouts designed for the 2-111446-4. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 2-111446-4 has 744 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 2-111504-3 has 740 pieces in stock as new original inventory.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or cable type restrictions?

A: Both connectors are specified for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable with IDC termination. Wire gauge and cable type must remain within these specifications for proper connector operation.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: Both connectors feature gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, providing consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
