Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5-146267-1 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU Mod II rectangular connector series. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Current rating (3A)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Copper Alloy with Gold mating surface and Tin post finish)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Number of positions and rows (2 positions, 2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact dimensions (mating length, post length, overall length)
• Insulation height and geometry
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 5-146255-1 satisfies all these criteria while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison
