TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 86561-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 86561-9 is a contact crimp pin designed for flat flexible cable (FFC) and flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector applications. This component is a tin-lead plated crimp pin rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges and is currently in active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative compliance certifications, material compositions, or inventory availability necessitate component alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 86561-9 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: Pin type with crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-26 AWG range
• Contact Finish Thickness: 100.0µin (2.54µm) plating thickness
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Connector Category: FFC/FPC connector contacts
• Packaging Format: Bulk

The substitute part 1-86561-0 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical wire gauge specifications, contact termination method, finish thickness, and MSL rating. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the contact finish material composition and associated regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

86561-9 (Tin-Lead Finish): Select this part number for applications where tin-lead contact finish is specified or required. This component is RoHS non-compliant and suitable for legacy systems or applications with explicit tin-lead material requirements.

1-86561-0 (Tin Finish): Select this part number for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while providing regulatory compliance for modern manufacturing and distribution requirements. Higher inventory availability (10,810 pcs) supports production scheduling.

Both parts are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are functionally equivalent for FFC/FPC connector contact applications within the specified 22-26 AWG wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-86561-0 be used as a direct replacement for 86561-9?

A: Yes. Both parts are crimp pin contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (22-26 AWG), contact finish thickness (100.0µin), and MSL ratings. The primary difference is the contact finish material (tin versus tin-lead) and RoHS compliance status. Selection depends on application requirements and regulatory compliance mandates.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes?

A: The 86561-9 features a tin-lead plated finish, while the 1-86561-0 features a tin-only finish. Both maintain the same 100.0µin (2.54µm) plating thickness. The tin-lead composition in 86561-9 results in RoHS non-compliance, whereas the tin finish in 1-86561-0 achieves ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are these parts compatible with the same FFC/FPC connector housings?

A: Both parts are designed for FFC/FPC connector applications and share identical crimp termination specifications and wire gauge compatibility. Compatibility with specific connector housings depends on the housing design and contact slot specifications, which are determined by the connector series.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these contacts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These components have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture-controlled packaging or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Why would I choose the RoHS non-compliant 86561-9 over the compliant 1-86561-0?

A: The 86561-9 is selected when tin-lead finish is explicitly required by application specifications, legacy system compatibility, or when RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. The 1-86561-0 is preferred for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.
