Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3-969484-7 is determined by strict parametric equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Manufacturer Part Number (different batch or series designation)
• Color (Natural or Yellow variants)
• Operating Temperature range (when specified)
• RoHS Certification level (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level classification

All identified substitute parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the core connector housing function. Differences in color designation and temperature ratings reflect manufacturing variants within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 5-969484-7

The 5-969484-7 shares the identical base product number (969484) with the main part 3-969484-7, indicating the same core design and manufacturing specification. This part maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The 5-969484-7 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing an enhanced compliance level. Inventory availability is 1507 pieces. This part is the direct functional equivalent for applications requiring ROHS3 certification.

Secondary Substitute: 1955422-6

The 1955422-6 provides full parametric equivalence with specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. This part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and maintains 1048 pieces in inventory. Selection of this part is appropriate when temperature performance documentation is required for system specifications.

Secondary Substitute: 9-1241961-8

The 9-1241961-8 offers parametric equivalence with operating temperature specification of -40°C to 105°C and RoHS Compliant certification. Inventory availability is 1297 pieces. This part represents an alternative series designation within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors product family.

Color Variant Substitute: 928247-3

The 928247-3 is functionally equivalent to the main part with the distinction of yellow color coding instead of natural. This part specifies an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C and carries RoHS Compliant certification. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 59665 pieces. Selection of this part is appropriate when color identification is required for circuit board assembly or when extended temperature performance is necessary. The yellow color designation does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Selection among these equivalents should be based on specific compliance requirements, temperature performance needs, color coding requirements, and inventory availability for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 3-969484-7 with 5-969484-7?

A: Yes. Both parts share the identical base product number (969484) and maintain all critical parameters including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. The 5-969484-7 carries enhanced ROHS3 Compliant certification compared to the RoHS Compliant status of 3-969484-7.

Q: What is the difference between the Natural and Yellow color variants?

A: The 928247-3 (Yellow) and 3-969484-7 (Natural) are mechanically and electrically identical. Color designation serves as a visual identifier for circuit board assembly or system organization purposes. The yellow variant (928247-3) specifies an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C compared to the unspecified temperature range of 3-969484-7. Both parts use identical Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 insulation material and maintain the same latch lock fastening mechanism.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same contact pins?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for number of positions (3), pitch (0.197" or 5.00mm), contact type (Female Socket), and contact termination method (Crimp). Contacts designed for the 3-969484-7 are compatible with all listed substitute parts.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean compared to RoHS Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliant represents an updated certification level within the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulatory framework. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. The 5-969484-7 and 1955422-6 carry ROHS3 Compliant designation, while 3-969484-7 and 9-1241961-8 carry RoHS Compliant designation. Selection between these should be based on specific system compliance documentation requirements.

Q: Can I use 1955422-6 or 9-1241961-8 if my application requires temperature specifications?

A: Yes. Both 1955422-6 and 9-1241961-8 specify operating temperature ranges of -40°C to 105°C. The 928247-3 specifies -40°C to 110°C. The main part 3-969484-7 and 5-969484-7 do not include specified operating temperature ranges. If your application requires documented temperature performance, select from 1955422-6, 9-1241961-8, or 928247-3.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and why does it matter?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and does not require special handling or storage conditions. The 5-969484-7 lists MSL as Not Applicable, which also indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints. All other substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) designation. This parameter does not differentiate substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there inventory differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. Inventory availability varies: 3-969484-7 (994 pieces), 1955422-6 (1048 pieces), 5-969484-7 (1507 pieces), 9-1241961-8 (1297 pieces), and 928247-3 (59665 pieces). The 928247-3 yellow variant has significantly higher inventory availability. Inventory levels should be considered when planning procurement for production schedules.

Q: Do all parts use the same insulation material?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part 3-969484-7 and all substitute parts, use Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 as the insulation material. This material specification is consistent across all equivalent and substitute parts.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: This notation indicates that the connector housing is supplied without pre-installed contact pins. Contacts must be obtained separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications. This applies to all parts listed in this reference, including the main part and all substitutes.
