Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4-1418480-1 are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitutability:

Critical Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 7
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Slide-On
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 140°C
• Features: Sealed
• Series: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts maintain identical specifications across these parameters. Variations are limited to housing color (Blue, Green, Black, Gray) and minor differences in RoHS/REACH compliance certifications. These color variations do not affect electrical or mechanical performance and are interchangeable within the same connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts (4-1418480-1, 3-1418480-1, 1-1418480-1, and 2-1418480-1) are Active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Compliance Requirements:

• For applications requiring ROHS3 Compliant certification, parts 3-1418480-1, 1-1418480-1, and 2-1418480-1 are suitable.
• For applications requiring REACH Unaffected status, parts 1-1418480-1 and 2-1418480-1 are suitable.
• Part 4-1418480-1 carries RoHS Compliant status with Vendor Undefined REACH status.

Availability Considerations:

• Part 1-1418480-1 (Black) has the highest inventory at 2400 pieces.
• Part 2-1418480-1 (Gray) has 2525 pieces in stock.
• Part 3-1418480-1 (Green) has 995 pieces in stock.
• Part 4-1418480-1 (Blue) has 1076 pieces in stock.

Color Selection: Housing color selection is application-dependent and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color coding may be used for circuit identification, harness organization, or system-level design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these rectangular connector housings electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All four parts maintain identical electrical specifications including connector type, contact type, number of positions, row spacing, contact termination method, and operating temperature range. They are fully interchangeable from an electrical standpoint.

Q: What is the significance of the color differences between these parts?

A: Color variations (Blue, Green, Black, Gray) are cosmetic and do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection is typically driven by application requirements such as circuit identification, harness organization, or design standards. The connector housing color does not impact compatibility with mating connectors or contact performance.

Q: Do these parts require contacts to be purchased separately?

A: Yes. All four parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be purchased separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the MCP 1.5K/2.8 series and the crimp termination method specified.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS Compliant refers to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant refers to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Parts 3-1418480-1, 1-1418480-1, and 2-1418480-1 meet the more stringent ROHS3 requirements.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected mean?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates that the part is not subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. Parts 1-1418480-1 and 2-1418480-1 carry this designation. Part 4-1418480-1 has Vendor Undefined REACH status, requiring verification with the supplier for specific applications.

Q: Can I substitute part 4-1418480-1 with part 1-1418480-1?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are housing color (Blue vs. Black), manufacturer designation (AMP Connectors vs. Deutsch Connectors), and compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant). Selection depends on application requirements for color coding and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: All four parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating that these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. This simplifies inventory management and reduces storage costs.

Q: Are these parts suitable for sealed applications?

A: Yes. All four parts feature sealed design, providing environmental protection against moisture and contaminants. This makes them suitable for applications requiring IP-rated or sealed connector systems.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connector housings?

A: All four parts operate across the range of -40°C to 140°C, making them suitable for automotive, industrial, and harsh environment applications requiring extended temperature performance.
