Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 927846-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must belong to the Junior Power Timer series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within connector assemblies.
• Contact Type and Function: Socket contact designation must be maintained to ensure proper mating with pin contacts in the connector system.
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is required for consistent assembly processes and electrical performance.
• Wire Gauge Rating: The 17-20 AWG specification must be preserved to maintain current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit.
• Connector Category: Rectangular connector classification ensures dimensional and functional compatibility.
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance and MSL rating must be equivalent or superior to support regulatory and environmental requirements.

The substitute part 927845-1 meets all these criteria and is classified as the manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 927845-1 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 927846-1. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The 927845-1 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity. This addresses the obsolescence of the original part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring no regulatory barriers to substitution in existing or new applications.

Environmental Specifications: Identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) confirms equivalent moisture sensitivity performance, suitable for standard storage and handling conditions without special precautions.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters—wire gauge rating, contact termination method, connector series, and contact type—are identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit or assembly modifications.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which may differ from the original packaging format. Procurement and assembly processes should account for this packaging specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 927845-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 927846-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 927845-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, termination method, series designation, and contact type. Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 927846-1?

A: The 927846-1 is classified as obsolete. The 927845-1 is an active product that provides equivalent functionality with assured long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status, MSL rating, ECCN classification, and HTSUS code. Substitution introduces no regulatory or compliance barriers.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 927845-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Procurement and assembly workflows should be adjusted to accommodate this packaging specification, but the contact itself functions identically to the original part.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or termination differences?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 17-20 AWG wire gauges and utilize crimp termination. Termination tooling and wire preparation procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The 927845-1 has 160,784 pieces in stock, providing substantial availability for both immediate requirements and long-term supply planning.
