Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 880124 connector housing is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position and Row Configuration: The substitute part must maintain a 9-position connector housing with 3-row arrangement to ensure mechanical fit within existing connector assemblies.

Contact Termination Method: Both the main part and substitute utilize crimp contact termination, ensuring compatibility with existing contact insertion and removal procedures.

Fastening Mechanism: The substitute part employs a locking ramp fastening type, which differs from the latch lock/eject hooks of the original part. This represents a functional evolution in the connector design while maintaining the core housing structure.

Color Specification: The natural color finish is preserved in the substitute part, maintaining visual consistency with original specifications.

Compliance and Environmental Ratings: The substitute part maintains RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Pitch and Row Spacing: The substitute part specifies 0.240" (6.10mm) pitch and row spacing, providing defined dimensional parameters for the 9-position, 3-row configuration.

Connector Architecture: The 9-position, 3-row configuration is preserved in the substitute part, maintaining mechanical compatibility with existing connector assemblies. The crimp contact termination method remains consistent, ensuring compatibility with existing contact insertion and removal procedures.

Dimensional Specifications: The substitute part provides explicit pitch and row spacing specifications of 0.240" (6.10mm), offering defined dimensional parameters for the rectangular connector housing.

Fastening Evolution: The substitute part incorporates a locking ramp fastening mechanism, representing a functional advancement from the original latch lock/eject hooks design. This change reflects current connector design standards within the MATE-N-LOK series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-480672-0 substitute directly replace the 880124 in existing assemblies?

A: The 1-480672-0 maintains the same 9-position, 3-row configuration and crimp contact termination as the 880124. However, the mounting type differs: the 880124 is free hanging (in-line), while the 1-480672-0 is panel mount, snap-in. Physical integration into existing assemblies requires verification of mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the MATE-N-LOK series designation for the substitute part?

A: The MATE-N-LOK series is a TE Connectivity rectangular connector family. The 1-480672-0 belongs to this active product line, ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and compatibility with other components within the MATE-N-LOK ecosystem.

Q: Are the fastening mechanisms interchangeable between the 880124 and 1-480672-0?

A: The fastening types differ: the 880124 uses latch lock/eject hooks, while the 1-480672-0 uses a locking ramp mechanism. These represent different connector engagement and disengagement methods. The choice between them depends on application requirements and existing mating connector specifications.

Q: What are the pitch and row spacing specifications for the 880124?

A: The 880124 part number does not include explicit pitch or row spacing specifications in the available documentation. The substitute part 1-480672-0 specifies 0.240" (6.10mm) pitch and row spacing for the 9-position, 3-row configuration.

Q: Does the operating temperature specification of the 1-480672-0 apply to the 880124?

A: The 880124 does not include an operating temperature specification in the available documentation. The 1-480672-0 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Operating temperature requirements for the original part should be determined from application-specific documentation or historical design records.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 880124 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1-480672-0 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts meet RoHS regulatory requirements, with the substitute part meeting current ROHS3 standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connector housings?

A: Both the 880124 and 1-480672-0 maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use.
