Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2-1658462-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Contact Configuration: The connector must maintain 40 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch spacing and center strip contact configuration.

Mounting and Physical Characteristics: Surface mount technology with identical height above board (0.128" / 3.25mm) and compatible mated stacking heights (5mm through 30mm range).

Electrical and Material Specifications: Gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, board guide and ground bus plane features, and MSL 1 rating.

Series Designation: Parts must belong to the MICTOR SB series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Connector Type: Receptacle configuration with center strip contacts is mandatory for functional equivalence.

Substitute parts are identified based on identical parametric specifications across all these dimensions. No deviations in position count, pitch, mounting type, or contact configuration are permitted for substitution classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-1658462-1 and 1658462-1 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is the RoHS compliance status: the 1658462-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while the 2-1658462-1 is marked as Not applicable for RoHS status.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the 1658462-1 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance requirements, either part is suitable based on parametric equivalence. The 1658462-1 currently maintains higher inventory availability at 946 pieces compared to 683 pieces for the 2-1658462-1, which may influence procurement decisions based on supply chain requirements.

Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and mounting requirements, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the MICTOR SB series connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-1658462-1 and 1658462-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical contact configuration (40 positions, 2 rows, 0.031" pitch), gold contact finish (30.0µin thickness), and center strip contact design. They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 1658462-1 is ROHS3 Compliant, while the 2-1658462-1 is marked as Not applicable. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 1658462-1 as a direct replacement for 2-1658462-1 in my design?

A: Yes, the 1658462-1 is a direct parametric equivalent. If your application or regulatory requirements mandate RoHS3 compliance, the 1658462-1 is the required selection. Otherwise, both parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical height above board (0.128" / 3.25mm), mated stacking heights (5mm through 30mm), and all mechanical specifications. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What mounting technology do these connectors use?

A: Both parts are Surface Mount (SMD) connectors designed for PCB assembly. They feature board guide and ground bus plane features for secure mounting and electrical performance.

Q: Do these connectors have any moisture sensitivity concerns?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For RoHS3 compliant applications, specify 1658462-1. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and supply chain considerations.
