Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 9-146287-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 40
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Current Rating: 3A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Series: AMPMODU Mod II
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Shape: Square

Compliance Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 9-146274-0 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in contact finish specifications and product status do not affect functional interchangeability in applications requiring 40-position, 2.54mm pitch male pin headers with 3A current capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 9-146274-0

The 9-146274-0 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 9-146287-0. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Product Status Consideration: The 9-146274-0 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current industry standards. The 9-146287-0 is classified as Obsolete, making the substitute the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory clarity for international applications.

Contact Finish Difference: The primary distinction between the parts is the mating contact finish: the original part features gold plating (5.00µin thickness) while the substitute uses tin plating (100.0µin thickness). Both finishes are suitable for standard PCB header applications and do not affect functional interchangeability in typical board-to-board or cable connection scenarios.

Termination Specification: The original part specifies kinked pin solder termination, while the substitute specifies standard solder termination. Both termination methods are compatible with through-hole PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9-146274-0 directly replace the 9-146287-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 9-146274-0 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters including pitch (2.54mm), position count (40), contact type (male pin), current rating (3A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) are equivalent. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The original part uses gold-plated mating contacts while the substitute uses tin-plated mating contacts. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard PCB header applications. The choice between gold and tin plating does not affect functional compatibility in typical board-to-board or cable connection scenarios.

Q: Why is the 9-146287-0 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for this part number. The 9-146274-0 is the active equivalent, ensuring ongoing availability and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part number 9-146287-0 does not specify packaging details in the available data. The substitute 9-146274-0 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the difference in termination specifications?

A: The original part specifies kinked pin solder termination, while the substitute specifies standard solder termination. Both methods are compatible with through-hole PCB assembly processes and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Can the 9-146274-0 be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The 9-146274-0 is classified as Active product status, making it the appropriate selection for new designs requiring a 40-position, 2.54mm pitch male pin header connector with 3A current capacity and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range.
