SA1004 Rectangular Power Connector Pin Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA1004 is an active rectangular power connector pin contact manufactured by Bulgin, designed for crimp termination with 16-20 AWG wire gauges. This nickel-finished pin contact is part of the Rectangular Power Connectors series and is supplied in cut tape packaging. The component is ROHS3 compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements where substitute contacts meet the established electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SA1004 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Contact type: Pin configuration
• Termination method: Crimp termination
• Contact finish: Nickel plating
• Wire gauge compatibility: Overlapping or equivalent AWG range
• Compliance status: ROHS3 and REACH compliance maintained
• Product status: Active manufacturing status

The substitute part 1060-14-0122 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent contact based on matching pin configuration, crimp termination, nickel finish, and regulatory compliance. Wire gauge specification of 14-18 AWG on the substitute provides overlap with the SA1004 specification of 16-20 AWG, covering the 16-18 AWG range common to both parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SA1004 (Bulgin): Recommended for applications requiring 16-20 AWG wire gauge specifications. Active product status with 3605 units in stock. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Suitable for standard rectangular power connector applications.

1060-14-0122 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors): Qualified substitute for applications utilizing 14-18 AWG wire gauges, with overlap coverage of 16-18 AWG range. Active product status with 4500 units in stock. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Stamped construction type provides alternative manufacturing process.

Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance, export classification, and tariff coding. Selection between these parts is determined by specific wire gauge requirements and connector system compatibility with the respective manufacturer's rectangular connector housing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1060-14-0122 substitute for SA1004 in all applications?

A: The 1060-14-0122 is a qualified substitute for applications using wire gauges within the 16-18 AWG overlap range. Applications requiring 19-20 AWG wire termination must use the SA1004, as the substitute part specification does not extend to these gauges.

Q: What is the significance of the stamped construction on the 1060-14-0122?

A: The stamped construction indicates the contact is manufactured through stamping processes rather than other methods. This is a manufacturing process difference that does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for crimp termination applications within the specified wire gauge range.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same connector housings?

A: No. The SA1004 is designed for Bulgin rectangular connector housings, while the 1060-14-0122 is designed for TE Connectivity Deutsch connector housings. Contacts must be matched to their respective manufacturer's housing systems.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99 for export, and share identical HTSUS tariff coding (8536.90.4000).

Q: What wire gauge range should be used for substitution?

A: For substitution purposes, use wire gauges within the 16-18 AWG range, which is common to both specifications. The SA1004 supports 19-20 AWG exclusively, and the 1060-14-0122 supports 14-15 AWG exclusively.

Q: Is packaging format identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging format, ensuring compatibility with standard component handling and placement equipment.
