Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 454464-E is determined by the following critical parameters: 8 position configuration, M12-8 shell size, male pin orientation (A-coding), surface mount capability, and unshielded design. All substitute parts maintain these core specifications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on termination method:

Solder Eyelet Termination Group: Parts 254317-E, 284810-E, and 464676-E transition from standard solder termination to solder eyelet termination, which provides enhanced mechanical stability and improved solder joint reliability. These parts retain the 8 position, M12-8 shell size, A-orientation, and surface mount characteristics of the original component.

Key Parameters for Substitution:

• Number of Positions: 8
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-8
• Connector Type: Insert, Male Pins
• Orientation: A
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Shielding: Unshielded

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (254317-E, 284810-E, 464676-E) are active products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence status of the 454464-E. The transition from standard solder to solder eyelet termination across all substitutes provides improved mechanical robustness in surface mount applications.

254317-E maintains the 2A current rating and 30VDC specification of the original part while extending the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C. This part carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification and REACH unaffected status.

284810-E provides increased current capacity at 4.8A with IP65/IP67 ingress protection. Operating temperature remains -25°C to 85°C, matching the original specification. This part is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.

464676-E offers 4A current rating with IP65/IP67 ingress protection and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature aligns with the original at -25°C to 85°C. This part carries REACH affected status.

Selection should be based on application requirements for current capacity, temperature range, and regulatory compliance needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 254317-E, 284810-E, or 464676-E be used as direct replacements for 454464-E?

A: Yes, all three parts maintain the critical substitution parameters: 8 position configuration, M12-8 shell size, A-orientation, male pin connector type, and surface mount capability. The primary difference is the transition to solder eyelet termination, which is mechanically compatible with standard solder pad layouts.

Q: What is the difference between solder and solder eyelet termination?

A: Solder eyelet termination includes a formed eyelet at the termination point, providing enhanced mechanical support and improved solder joint reliability compared to standard solder termination. Both methods are compatible with surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if the application requires extended temperature operation?

A: Part 254317-E extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C, compared to the original -25°C to 85°C specification. Parts 284810-E and 464676-E maintain the original temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all three substitute parts (254317-E, 284810-E, 464676-E) are ROHS3 compliant. The original 454464-E requires inventory verification for RoHS status.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the substitute parts?

A: The original 454464-E is rated at 2A. Substitute part 254317-E maintains 2A rating, while 284810-E provides 4.8A and 464676-E provides 4A. Selection should be based on application current requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same ingress protection rating?

A: The original 454464-E specifies IP67. Substitute part 254317-E maintains IP67, while 284810-E and 464676-E provide IP65/IP67 protection, which encompasses the original specification.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Part 254317-E is supplied in Bag packaging, 284810-E in Tape & Reel (TR), and 464676-E in Box packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements.
