Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 1-1734606-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 12-position receptacles with identical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 2-row layout
• Mounting & Orientation: Both feature surface mount, right-angle termination with solder attachment
• Electrical Interface: Both employ push-pull fastening with square contact geometry
• Environmental Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability classification and operate within -40°C to 105°C range
• Insulation & Material: Both use thermoplastic insulation with copper alloy or phosphor bronze contacts

The substitute maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility for board-to-board interconnection applications requiring this specific pitch and form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-1734606-2 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU series) is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 950412-8220-AR-TP. Selection rationale:

• Product Status: The original part is obsolete; the substitute is active and maintains current manufacturing support
• Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, row spacing, mounting orientation, and insulation dimensions ensure direct board-level substitution
• Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range, flammability rating, and contact configuration
• Availability: The substitute has confirmed inventory (1163 pcs) versus the original's obsolete status

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1734606-2 directly replace the 950412-8220-AR-TP on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, right-angle surface mount orientation, and 0.193" (4.90mm) insulation height. PCB footprints are mechanically compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), contact material composition (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), contact finish thickness specifications, and RoHS compliance status. Functionally, both provide equivalent 12-position board-to-board interconnection.

Q: Are there voltage or current rating differences?

A: The original part specifies 1A current rating and 1000VDC voltage rating. The substitute lists 250VAC voltage rating with current rating not specified in available data. Application-specific electrical requirements must be evaluated against these parameters.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute?

A: The 1-1734606-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Is the substitute RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 1-1734606-2 is RoHS Compliant. The original part's RoHS status is not specified.
