Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 8-1241961-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (2), pitch (5.00mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on material composition and thermal performance:

Category A: PA6/Nylon 6 Insulation Material — Parts 3-1241961-2, 6-1241961-2, and 7-1241961-2 utilize polyamide (PA6) nylon 6 insulation with operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. These parts are functionally equivalent to the main part with identical pitch, position count, and mounting characteristics.

Category B: PA/Nylon Insulation Material with Extended Temperature — Parts 5-928247-2 and 6-928247-2 feature polyamide (PA) nylon insulation with extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. Part 5-928247-2 is distinguished by green color housing, while 6-928247-2 maintains natural color. These parts support higher thermal environments.

Category C: PA66/Nylon 6/6 Insulation Material — Part 9-1241961-2 matches the main part's PA66 nylon 6/6 insulation composition with identical -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and crimp contact termination with latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 9-1241961-2 be used as a direct replacement for 8-1241961-3?

A: Yes. Part 9-1241961-2 is a direct equivalent with identical insulation material (PA66 nylon 6/6), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and fastening method. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between PA6 nylon 6 and PA66 nylon 6/6 insulation materials in these connectors?

A: The insulation material composition differs between substitute groups. PA6 nylon 6 is used in parts 3-1241961-2, 6-1241961-2, and 7-1241961-2, while PA66 nylon 6/6 is used in the main part 8-1241961-3 and substitute part 9-1241961-2. Both materials maintain the same operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and electrical performance for this connector application. Material selection depends on application-specific requirements.

Q: Why do parts 5-928247-2 and 6-928247-2 have an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C?

A: These parts utilize PA/nylon insulation material, which provides thermal performance extending to 110°C compared to the 105°C maximum of PA6 and PA66 variants. These parts are suitable for applications requiring operation in higher temperature environments.

Q: Can I substitute the green-colored part 5-928247-2 for the natural-colored 8-1241961-3?

A: Part 5-928247-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical connector specifications, pitch, position count, and mounting type. The primary difference is housing color (green versus natural) and extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 110°C). Substitution is permissible if application requirements allow color variation and the extended temperature range is acceptable or beneficial.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: Inventory availability varies: 5-928247-2 (30121 units), 6-928247-2 (11099 units), 6-1241961-2 (4197 units), 9-1241961-2 (3422 units), 3-1241961-2 (768 units), and 7-1241961-2 (1047 units). The main part 8-1241961-3 has 947 units in stock.

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certification. The main part 8-1241961-3 and parts 6-1241961-2 and 6-928247-2 carry ROHS3 certification. Parts 3-1241961-2, 5-928247-2, 7-1241961-2, and 9-1241961-2 carry standard RoHS compliance.

Q: Do all parts have the same moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?

A: All parts except 6-928247-2 carry MSL 1 (unlimited) rating. Part 6-928247-2 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect substitution eligibility for standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number difference between 1241961 and 928247?

A: The base product number indicates the original product family designation. Parts with base number 1241961 (8-1241961-3, 3-1241961-2, 6-1241961-2, 7-1241961-2, 9-1241961-2) share one product family, while parts with base number 928247 (5-928247-2, 6-928247-2) represent an alternative product family. Both families provide equivalent 2-position 5.00mm pitch receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Can these connector housings be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, all substitute parts maintain identical connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), position count (2), pitch (5.00mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). These specifications ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability. Material composition and color variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.
