Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings 929682-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (12), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All substitute parts must maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure physical and functional compatibility.

Secondary parameters including insulation material composition, operating temperature range, color, and regulatory compliance status are documented to support engineering selection based on application requirements. Parts are grouped into two categories: TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok series alternatives with matching temperature performance, TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod IV series alternatives with extended temperature capability, and cross-manufacturer alternatives from Molex with equivalent electrical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok Series)

Parts 1394048-1 and 968473-1 are direct functional equivalents within the Micro Quadlok series. Both maintain PBT glass-filled insulation material and black color specification. Part 1394048-1 operates at -40°C to 120°C and carries ROHS3 compliance with active product status. Part 968473-1 provides identical temperature performance with ROHS3 compliance. These parts are recommended for applications where Micro Quadlok series continuity is required.

Secondary Substitutes (TE Connectivity Alternative Series)

Part 3-87977-1 (AMPMODU Mod IV series) extends operating temperature to -65°C to 105°C with RoHS compliance and active status. This part accommodates applications requiring lower temperature performance. Part 926476-6 (AMPMODU Mod IV series) provides thermoplastic insulation with -65°C to 105°C operating range and ROHS3 compliance. Part 1452015-2 utilizes PA66 nylon insulation with -40°C to 100°C operating range and RoHS compliance.

Color Variant Substitutes

Parts 925367-6 and 925370-6 provide green color housings within the AMPMODU Mod IV series with -65°C to 105°C operating temperature and RoHS compliance. These parts are functionally equivalent but differ in color specification.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes (Molex)

Parts 0022552123 and 0022566127 (Molex SL 70450 series) provide equivalent 12-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings with polyester glass-filled insulation. Both operate at -40°C to 105°C and carry ROHS3 compliance with active product status. These parts are suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer compatibility is acceptable.

Compliance and Availability Considerations

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance (either RoHS or ROHS3 status) and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. The original part 929682-3 is Last Time Buy; substitutes 1394048-1 and 968473-1 are recommended as primary alternatives due to active product status, matching series designation, and equivalent material specifications. Cross-manufacturer alternatives from Molex provide additional supply chain options with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1394048-1 directly replace 929682-3 in existing designs?

A: Part 1394048-1 is a functional equivalent with identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, and mounting method. The primary difference is operating temperature range: 1394048-1 operates at -40°C to 120°C compared to 929682-3 at -40°C to 130°C. Substitution is valid for applications operating within the -40°C to 120°C range. Both parts use PBT glass-filled insulation and black color.

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok and AMPMODU Mod IV series substitutes?

A: Micro Quadlok series (929682-3, 1394048-1, 968473-1, 284322-1) maintains the original series designation. AMPMODU Mod IV series (3-87977-1, 925367-6, 925370-6, 926476-6) represents an alternative TE Connectivity product line with extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 105°C) and different insulation material options. Both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 12-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings.

Q: Are Molex parts 0022552123 and 0022566127 compatible with TE Connectivity designs?

A: Both Molex parts maintain identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, and mounting method as the original 929682-3. Compatibility depends on application-specific requirements regarding insulation material (Molex uses polyester glass-filled versus TE Connectivity PBT or PA66) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C for Molex parts). Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed; material and temperature performance differences must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have different insulation materials?

A: Insulation material variations (PBT, PA66, PA, polyester, thermoplastic) reflect different product series and manufacturing standards. All materials specified are glass-filled or reinforced polymers suitable for rectangular connector housings. Material selection affects operating temperature range, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance. The original 929682-3 specifies PBT glass-filled; substitutes with alternative materials are provided to accommodate different application requirements and supply availability.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean compared to RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents compliance with the latest Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive revision. Both RoHS and ROHS3 designations indicate the part meets hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 reflects current regulatory status. All substitute parts carry either RoHS or ROHS3 compliance, confirming regulatory alignment.

Q: Can I use green-colored parts (925367-6, 925370-6) as substitutes for black-colored 929682-3?

A: Green-colored parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitution is valid only if color specification is not a design requirement. Both green parts operate at -65°C to 105°C with RoHS compliance and active product status. Verify application requirements regarding color coding before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of "Contacts Not Included" in the part specifications?

A: All listed parts are connector housings only; crimp contacts must be sourced separately. The housing and contacts are supplied as separate components. Ensure contact part numbers are compatible with the selected housing before assembly.

Q: Which substitute part offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Parts 3-87977-1, 925367-6, 925370-6, and 926476-6 (AMPMODU Mod IV series) provide the widest operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended low-temperature performance beyond the original 929682-3 specification of -40°C to 130°C. Note that the upper temperature limit is lower than the original part.
