Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5-316502-1 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count and Pitch Compatibility: The original part is a 4-position housing. Substitute components must maintain 4-position capacity with matching pitch specifications to ensure contact alignment and mechanical fit within existing connector assemblies.

Housing Type and Mounting Configuration: The original part functions as a cap housing. Substitute parts must provide equivalent housing functionality with compatible mounting characteristics (panel mount, snap-in capability) to integrate with existing system architectures.

Material and Environmental Compliance: Both the original and substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited) to ensure regulatory alignment and environmental stability across manufacturing and deployment phases.

Electrical Classification: Both components fall under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8538.90.6000, confirming equivalent trade classification and export control status.

The substitute part 1971599-1 satisfies these substitution criteria through matching position count (4), compatible pitch specification (0.156" / 3.96mm), equivalent housing functionality (receptacle housing), and full compliance alignment with RoHS, REACH, MSL, and trade classification parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1971599-1 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete 5-316502-1. Both components maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3/RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, confirming regulatory and environmental equivalence.

The substitute part maintains the same trade classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8538.90.6000) as the original, ensuring no changes to export control or tariff treatment. The 4-position configuration and 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch specification of the substitute part align with standard rectangular connector spacing conventions used in TE Connectivity AMP Connector product lines.

Selection of the active substitute part 1971599-1 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full compliance alignment with the original component specifications. The natural color finish and polyamide (PA66) insulation material of the substitute part are consistent with standard TE Connectivity AMP Connector housing specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 5-316502-1 being replaced?
