261G1-LPBK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 261G1-LPBK is a non-gendered power contact manufactured by Anderson Power Products, Inc., designed for the Powerpole® 15-45 series. This tin-plated copper alloy contact accommodates 12-16 AWG wire gauges and features crimp termination for reliable power connections. The part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints exist.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part 1744041-1 qualifies as an equivalent contact based on the following aligned parameters:

Wire Gauge: Both parts accommodate 12-16 AWG conductors, ensuring compatible termination and current-carrying capacity.

Contact Termination: Both employ crimp termination methodology, maintaining consistent installation and mechanical reliability.

Pin or Socket Configuration: Both are non-gendered contacts, preserving connector flexibility and mating compatibility.

Contact Material: Both utilize copper-based materials (copper alloy and copper), providing equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Product Status: Both maintain Active status, confirming current manufacturing availability and supply chain viability.

RoHS Compliance: Both achieve ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

MSL Rating: Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture sensitivity performance.

The primary distinction lies in contact finish (tin versus silver) and connector series assignment (Powerpole® 15-45 versus Power Series 30), which reflect different application contexts rather than functional incompatibility at the contact level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 261G1-LPBK and 1744041-1 maintain Active product status, confirming current manufacturing support and supply availability. Selection between these contacts should be based on connector series compatibility within the target assembly. The 261G1-LPBK integrates with Powerpole® 15-45 series connectors, while 1744041-1 is designated for Power Series 30 connectors. Contact finish selection (tin versus silver) reflects application-specific corrosion resistance requirements and environmental exposure conditions. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and carry identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental performance parity. Substitution is valid when connector series constraints permit cross-platform integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1744041-1 directly replace 261G1-LPBK in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement depends on connector housing compatibility. The 261G1-LPBK is specified for Powerpole® 15-45 series housings, while 1744041-1 is designated for Power Series 30 housings. Physical contact geometry and mating interface must align with the target connector body.

Q: What is the functional difference between tin and silver contact finishes?

A: Both finishes provide electrical conductivity and corrosion protection. Tin finish is specified for the 261G1-LPBK, while silver finish is specified for 1744041-1. Selection depends on environmental exposure, temperature cycling, and specific application requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 12-16 AWG wire termination?

A: Yes. Both 261G1-LPBK and 1744041-1 accommodate 12-16 AWG wire gauges using crimp termination, ensuring equivalent current-carrying capacity and mechanical retention.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share identical HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000), confirming equivalent regulatory and trade compliance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating indicate?

A: MSL 1 classification indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity concerns. Both parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures, simplifying inventory management and logistics.
