Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 48248-000 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Wire gauge: 22-26 AWG
Contact type: Socket
Termination method: Crimp
Contact finish: Gold (primary requirement)
Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
Connector category: Rectangular connectors

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: The 48248-000LF represents the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications with updated RoHS compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: Parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and Hirose Electric Co Ltd meet all core electrical and mechanical parameters. These alternatives are selected based on matching wire gauge, socket configuration, crimp termination, and gold contact finish specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: The 48248-000LF is the direct active equivalent from Amphenol ICC, maintaining identical specifications to the obsolete 48248-000 while achieving RoHS compliance. This part is suitable for direct replacement in all applications.

Secondary Recommendations: The TE Connectivity parts (103171-4 and 87666-1) and Hirose parts (A1-2226SCC, HNC-2.5S-C-A(01), HNC-2.5S-D-A(02)) are functionally equivalent based on wire gauge, socket configuration, crimp termination, and gold contact finish. All substitute parts maintain MSL 1 rating and are in active production status.

Compliance Considerations: The 48248-000LF, 103171-4, 87666-1, A1-2226SCC, HNC-2.5S-C-A(01), and HNC-2.5S-D-A(02) are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. The HNC-2.5S-D-A(15) variant uses tin finish instead of gold and is suitable only for applications where tin contact finish is acceptable.

Packaging Availability: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats (Cut Tape, Tape & Reel, Bulk), allowing selection based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 48248-000LF directly replace the obsolete 48248-000?

A: Yes. The 48248-000LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including wire gauge (22-26 AWG), socket configuration, crimp termination, and gold contact finish. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and active production availability.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Wire gauge (22-26 AWG), contact type (socket), termination method (crimp), contact finish (gold for primary substitutes), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) are the critical parameters. All listed substitutes meet these requirements.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish thickness among substitutes?

A: Yes. The original 48248-000 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold thickness. TE Connectivity parts specify 30.0µin (0.76µm), and the Hirose A1-2226SCC specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm). These variations remain within acceptable ranges for the specified wire gauge and application category.

Q: What is the difference between the HNC-2.5S-D-A(02) and HNC-2.5S-D-A(15)?

A: Both are Hirose HNC series socket contacts for 22-26 AWG wire. The HNC-2.5S-D-A(02) features gold contact finish, while the HNC-2.5S-D-A(15) features tin contact finish. Selection depends on application requirements for contact material.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Cut Tape, Tape & Reel, Bulk) affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the socket contact itself.

Q: Are all substitute parts in active production?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability.
