Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HPCI4FPKG is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part HPCI4F shares identical specifications in the following critical areas:

• Connector type, gender, and position count (4-position receptacle, non-gendered)
• Termination method and contact dimensions (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock, Push-Pull)
• Electrical performance (50A current rating, silver-plated copper alloy contacts)
• Environmental ratings (IP25 ingress protection, -55°C ~ 85°C operating range)
• Material compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected)
• Physical dimensions (0.560" cable opening, thermoplastic shell)

The primary difference between HPCI4FPKG and HPCI4F is packaging configuration: HPCI4FPKG is supplied in standard packaging, while HPCI4F is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HPCI4FPKG and HPCI4F are active production parts from Switchcraft Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

HPCI4FPKG is appropriate for applications requiring standard packaging configuration with current inventory of 656 units available.

HPCI4F is appropriate for applications where bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred, with higher inventory availability of 1226 units. Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, and both carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification suitable for industrial, medical, and audio applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HPCI4F be used as a direct replacement for HPCI4FPKG?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. HPCI4F uses bulk packaging while HPCI4FPKG uses standard packaging.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector receptacles?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (receptacle, non-gendered), position count (4-position), termination method (Quick Connect - 0.250"), fastening mechanism (Latch Lock, Push-Pull), current rating (50A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), and physical dimensions (0.560" cable opening).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between HPCI4FPKG and HPCI4F?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. Compliance status is identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: HPCI4F in bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume applications due to higher inventory availability (1226 units) and bulk packaging efficiency.

Q: Are these parts suitable for medical applications?

A: Yes. Both HPCI4FPKG and HPCI4F are listed for medical applications and meet required compliance standards including ROHS3 and REACH requirements.
