Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 928999-1 is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Series: Micro Quadlok (all substitutes must belong to this series)
• Contact Type: Socket (all substitutes must be socket contacts)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (all substitutes must use crimp termination)
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (all substitutes from same manufacturer)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire Gauge Range: Overlap or compatibility with 20-24 AWG specification
• Contact Finish: Tin or equivalent conductive finish
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) for equivalent environmental performance
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant for regulatory alignment

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are identified as direct or similar alternatives based on wire gauge overlap and product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5-928999-1 (Direct Substitute - Recommended for Primary Selection)

The 5-928999-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 928999-1. Both parts share the same base product number (928999) and belong to the Micro Quadlok series. The wire gauge specification of 22-24 AWG on the substitute overlaps with the original 20-24 AWG range, covering the upper wire gauge band. The substitute maintains tin contact finish, identical moisture sensitivity level, and achieves ROHS3 compliance. The part is currently active in production with substantial inventory availability (52,100 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity. Packaging is provided in Cut Tape (CT) format.

5-963715-5 (Similar Substitute - Alternative Selection)

The 5-963715-5 serves as a similar alternative within the Micro Quadlok series. This part accommodates wire gauges 18-20 AWG, which overlaps with the lower end of the original 20-24 AWG specification at the 20 AWG point. The contact finish is gold rather than tin, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The part is active in production with high inventory availability (95,709 pieces). Selection of this substitute requires confirmation that gold-plated contacts are acceptable for the application, as contact finish differs from the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-928999-1 directly replace 928999-1 in all applications?

A: The 5-928999-1 is the direct substitute with overlapping wire gauge coverage (22-24 AWG within the original 20-24 AWG range). Applications using wire gauges 22-24 AWG experience direct compatibility. Applications requiring 20-21 AWG wire termination require evaluation of the 5-963715-5 alternative or confirmation that the 22-24 AWG specification is acceptable.

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

A: Both finishes are conductive and suitable for rectangular connector applications. Tin finish is the original specification for 928999-1. Gold finish on 5-963715-5 provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is typically specified for applications requiring extended environmental durability or higher contact reliability standards. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements and environmental exposure.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 5-928999-1 and 5-963715-5 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original 928999-1 is RoHS compliant. All three parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitutes?

A: The 5-928999-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The 5-963715-5 is also supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both formats are standard for component distribution and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring 22-24 AWG wire termination with tin finish, select 5-928999-1. For applications requiring 18-20 AWG wire termination or enhanced corrosion resistance, select 5-963715-5. Both parts are active products with established supply chains and are suitable for production implementation.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the substitutes?

A: Both substitutes maintain identical electrical classification within the Micro Quadlok series and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes as the original part. Electrical performance is determined by series compatibility and contact termination method (crimp), which are identical across all three parts.
