M30-1400400 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M30-1400400 is a 4-position rectangular connector housing (receptacle) manufactured by Harwin Inc., designed for 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch applications. This component is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design and procurement requirements. The housing accepts female socket contacts via crimp termination and features a friction lock fastening mechanism. As an obsolete product, sourcing equivalent active alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M30-1400400 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Series Compatibility: M30 series housing
• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Contact Type: Female socket contacts
• Position Count: 4-position housing
• Pitch Specification: 0.049" (1.25mm) contact spacing
• Row Configuration: Single row layout
• Mounting Style: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements

The M30-1100400 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and color variation (Natural vs. White), neither of which affects functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M30-1100400 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M30-1400400 based on complete functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

Selection of the M30-1100400 is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains current manufacturing and supply chain support, eliminating obsolescence risk
• Regulatory Compliance: Identical RoHS and REACH certifications ensure no compliance degradation
• Mechanical Interchangeability: Identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method guarantee direct replacement capability
• Supply Availability: Significantly higher inventory levels (14,419 units vs. 923 units) provide superior procurement reliability

The color difference (Natural vs. White) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a cosmetic variation only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M30-1100400 directly replace the M30-1400400 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch (0.049"), position count (4), connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), mounting style (free hanging in-line), and termination method (crimp). Direct substitution is functionally equivalent.

Q: Does the color difference between White (M30-1400400) and Natural (M30-1100400) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional interchangeability. Selection between colors is based on application aesthetics or assembly identification requirements only.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the M30-1400400 and M30-1100400 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: Why is the M30-1400400 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The M30-1100400 serves as the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support for M30 series 4-position 1.25mm pitch receptacle housings.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these components?

A: The M30-1100400 specifies an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. This range is typical for polyamide (PA66) insulation materials used in M30 series housings and is suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the M30-1400400 and M30-1100400 are housings only. Female socket contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Harwin specifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these components?

A: Both components have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
