Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-1658012-1 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts
• Number of Positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness
• Height Above Board: 0.128" (3.25mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm, 8mm, 11mm, 14mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, 25mm, 30mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Series: MICTOR
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-1658012-1 and 1658012-1 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the MICTOR series. Both components are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating full compliance with environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish specifications, and stacking height capabilities. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional or compliance differences. The 1658012-1 substitute part provides equivalent performance and interchangeability for applications requiring the 2-1658012-1.
