Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 61276-3 terminal connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type classification (Female, Receptacle, Socket, Flag)
• Wire gauge range (20-24 AWG)
• Barrel diameter (0.058" / 1.47mm)
• Barrel length (0.168" / 4.27mm)
• Insulation diameter range (0.045" ~ 0.070" / 1.14mm ~ 1.78mm)
• Crimp termination method
• Tin contact finish
• Non-insulated construction

Compliance and Environmental Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The substitute part 61276-3 must maintain identical dimensional specifications, termination characteristics, and environmental compliance ratings to ensure direct functional replacement without design modification or performance degradation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 61119-2 serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 61276-3 terminal connector. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including terminal type, wire gauge rating, barrel dimensions, and insulation diameter range.

Product Status Consideration: The 61276-3 is classified as obsolete, while the 61119-2 maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (18,641 pieces versus 1,024 pieces). This availability differential supports long-term supply chain continuity.

Compliance Status: Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The 61119-2 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and identical HTSUS coding (8536.90.4000).

Contact Material Variance: The primary material difference exists in contact composition. The 61276-3 utilizes beryllium copper, while the 61119-2 employs phosphor bronze. Both materials maintain tin finish and support identical crimp termination methodology. This material substitution does not alter functional performance within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Packaging Consideration: The 61119-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, supporting automated assembly processes and component handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 61119-2 directly replace the 61276-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 61119-2 maintains identical terminal type, wire gauge rating, barrel diameter, barrel length, insulation diameter range, crimp termination method, and tin contact finish. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original 61276-3 specification.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between beryllium copper and phosphor bronze?

A: Both materials support identical electrical conductivity and mechanical performance within the specified 20-24 AWG wire gauge range and crimp termination application.
