Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS14M1F is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Type: Socket
• Contact Size: 16
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 14 AWG minimum support
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Insulation Support: Present

The SS14M1F is substitutable with parts that maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part SS14M2F meets all mandatory parameters while offering expanded wire gauge range (14-16 AWG) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent for new designs and replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The SS14M1F has reached end-of-life status. The SS14M2F is the direct substitute for this contact, offering identical mechanical and electrical compatibility while maintaining active product availability. Both parts share the same base product number (SS14), confirming their functional equivalence within the Amphenol Sine Systems circular connector portfolio.

Compliance Considerations:

Both the SS14M1F and SS14M2F maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications in restricted substance environments. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies to both parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Supply Chain Strategy:

The SS14M2F is recommended for all new procurement activities due to its active product status and expanded wire gauge range (14-16 AWG), which provides design flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with existing 14 AWG applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS14M2F directly replace SS14M1F in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both contacts share identical contact size (16), termination method (crimp), material composition (copper alloy), and finish specification (gold flash). The SS14M2F supports the full 14 AWG wire gauge range of the SS14M1F, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the ecomate® RM and ecomate® Aquarius™ series?

A: These are distinct product series within the Amphenol Sine Systems portfolio. The SS14M1F belongs to the ecomate® RM series (obsolete), while the SS14M2F belongs to the ecomate® Aquarius™ series (active). Both series use identical contact specifications for size 16 socket contacts, enabling direct substitution.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations when substituting SS14M1F with SS14M2F?

A: No. The SS14M1F is rated for 14 AWG (2.0 ~ 2.5 mm²). The SS14M2F supports 14-16 AWG within the same cross-sectional range (2.0 ~ 2.5 mm²). Applications using 14 AWG wire remain fully compatible.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both SS14M1F and SS14M2F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies to both, indicating identical moisture sensitivity handling requirements.

Q: What packaging format is available for the SS14M2F?

A: The SS14M2F is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, matching the packaging format of the SS14M1F, ensuring compatibility with standard component handling and assembly processes.
