Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SP14M1N is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Series and Manufacturer: Parts must belong to the ecomate® Aquarius™ series from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with associated connector shells and contacts.
• Contact Size: Size 16 is mandatory for proper seating and electrical performance within the connector assembly.
• Wire Gauge Range: Compatibility requires 14-16 AWG (2.0 ~ 2.5mm²) to maintain proper crimp connection strength and electrical conductivity.
• Termination Type: Crimp termination ensures consistent installation and performance characteristics.
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper alloy with nickel finish provides the required electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Features: Insulation support feature must be present for proper wire guidance and strain relief.
• Product Status: Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability, distinguishing viable long-term substitutes from obsolete components.

The identified substitute SP14M2N maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters to the main part while offering the advantage of active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SP14M2N is the recommended substitute for the obsolete SP14M1N. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: SP14M2N is active, providing assured long-term availability for current and future production requirements, whereas SP14M1N is obsolete.

Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting contemporary regulatory requirements. The MSL rating of 1 (unlimited) indicates minimal moisture sensitivity, requiring no special storage considerations. SP14M2N is available in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SP14M2N directly replace SP14M1N without any configuration changes? A: Yes. SP14M2N is a direct substitute with identical contact size, wire gauge range, termination type, material composition, and finish specification. No connector shell modifications or assembly procedure changes are required.

Q: What is the significance of SP14M1N being listed as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has ceased active production. While limited inventory may exist, ongoing supply cannot be guaranteed. SP14M2N provides continuity for applications requiring this contact type.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute? A: SP14M1N packaging is not specified in available documentation. SP14M2N is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for automated connector assembly processes.

Q: Do regulatory certifications differ between these parts? A: No. Both SP14M1N and SP14M2N maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS coding (8536.90.4000).

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these contacts? A: Both components accommodate 14-16 AWG wire gauges, equivalent to 2.0 ~ 2.5mm² conductor cross-section, using crimp termination methodology.
