Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 60940-1 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 47712-000LF. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 47712-000LF accommodates 22-26 AWG wire, while the 60940-1 accommodates 20-24 AWG wire. The overlap range of 22-24 AWG permits substitution within this common wire gauge window.

Contact Termination Method: Both parts utilize crimp termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard crimping tools and processes.

Contact Type: Both are socket/receptacle contacts designed for mating with pin contacts in rectangular connector assemblies.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain RoHS3 Compliant status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Packaging Consideration: The 47712-000LF is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 60940-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. This difference affects inventory handling and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 47712-000LF and TE Connectivity 60940-1 maintain active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming suitability for standard environmental applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

Wire Gauge Requirements: If your application requires accommodation of 25-26 AWG wire, the 47712-000LF is the only suitable option. For applications limited to 20-24 AWG wire, both parts are compatible within the overlapping range of 22-24 AWG.

Contact Finish Specification: The 47712-000LF provides gold plating at 40.0µin (1.02µm) thickness, offering superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to the tin-plated 60940-1. Gold-plated contacts are preferred in high-reliability applications and environments with potential corrosive exposure.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy RoHS and REACH requirements. The 60940-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation, representing the most current RoHS standard revision.

Supply Chain Availability: Current inventory shows 967 units of the 47712-000LF and 2615 units of the 60940-1 in stock, providing flexibility in procurement decisions based on delivery timeline and quantity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 60940-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 47712-000LF in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only for applications using 22-24 AWG wire. Applications requiring 25-26 AWG wire accommodation must use the 47712-000LF, as the 60940-1 maximum wire gauge is 24 AWG.

Q: What is the impact of contact finish differences between gold and tin plating?

A: Gold plating provides lower contact resistance and superior corrosion resistance compared to tin plating. Applications in corrosive environments or requiring minimal contact resistance should specify the gold-plated 47712-000LF. Tin plating is suitable for standard industrial environments with adequate environmental protection.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Bulk and Cut Tape (CT) packaging formats do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and inventory management practices. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly and large-volume stock, while Cut Tape packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings and active product status. The gold-plated 47712-000LF is preferred for high-reliability applications due to superior contact finish characteristics. Verify specific application requirements with your design documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 designation on the 60940-1?

A: ROHS3 represents the current revision of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. ROHS3 Compliant status on the 60940-1 confirms compliance with the most recent regulatory standard.
