TE Connectivity 3-1418480-1 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 3-1418480-1 is a 7-position receptacle housing for the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 1.5K/2.8). This rectangular connector housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring sealed, crimp-terminated connections. The part is manufactured from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 140°C. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, substitute parts may be required due to color specification constraints, regional availability, or application-specific design requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3-1418480-1 are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Series designation: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8
• Connector type: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position count: 7 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.236" (6.00mm) spacing
• Mounting method: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Termination method: Crimp contact termination
• Fastening mechanism: Slide-on fastening
• Insulation material: Glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating temperature: -40°C to 140°C
• Sealing feature: Sealed design
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

Variable Parameter:

• Housing color (Green, Black, or Gray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility

All substitute parts listed maintain identical specifications across these critical parameters. Housing color variation is the only distinguishing characteristic among equivalent parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—3-1418480-1, 1-1418480-1, and 2-1418480-1—are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity divisions with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is based solely on housing color requirements and application-specific design specifications.

3-1418480-1 (Green Housing): Primary selection when green color coding is specified for circuit identification, wiring harness organization, or system design standards.

1-1418480-1 (Black Housing): Selection when black color is required for aesthetic consistency, environmental protection, or industry-standard color conventions. Manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors with 2400 units in stock.

2-1418480-1 (Gray Housing): Selection when gray color is specified for neutral appearance or specific application requirements. Manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors with 2525 units in stock.

All parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance across the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1418480-1 (black) be used in place of 3-1418480-1 (green)?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent receptacle housings within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8. They share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, contact configuration, and operating characteristics. Housing color is the only distinguishing feature and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts from the same manufacturer?

A: The main part (3-1418480-1) is manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The substitute parts (1-1418480-1 and 2-1418480-1) are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. Both are TE Connectivity divisions, and all parts comply with ROHS3 standards and carry identical MSL 1 ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 1418480?

A: The base product number 1418480 identifies the core connector housing design within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8. The prefix digit (1, 2, or 3) designates the housing color variant. All variants share the same mechanical and electrical specifications.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately as specified in the application design.

Q: What is the row spacing specification?

A: Row spacing is 0.236 inches (6.00 millimeters) for all equivalent parts. This dimension is critical for mating with corresponding plug connectors and must be maintained across all substitutions.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for sealed applications?

A: Yes. All three parts feature sealed design and are rated for sealed connector applications across the -40°C to 140°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or processing.

Q: Can these housings be used in free-hanging applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are specified for free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations. The slide-on fastening mechanism supports this mounting method.
