Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete SS14M1G5 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part SS14M2G5 maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Contact size (16) and type (Socket) are identical
• Wire gauge range (14-16 AWG / 2.0 ~ 2.5mm²) is identical
• Contact material (Copper Alloy) and finish (Gold, 5.00µin) are identical
• Termination method (Crimp) is identical

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Base product number (SS14) is identical
• Series designation (ecomate® Aquarius™) is identical
• Insulation support feature is identical

Regulatory & Compliance Equivalence:

• RoHS3 Compliance status is identical
• REACH Unaffected status is identical
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) is identical

The primary distinction between SS14M1G5 and SS14M2G5 is product status: SS14M1G5 is Obsolete while SS14M2G5 is Active. Packaging differs (SS14M1G5 is bulk; SS14M2G5 is Tape & Reel), but this does not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS14M2G5 is the direct functional equivalent for SS14M1G5 applications.

The SS14M2G5 substitute part is recommended for all new designs and procurement activities. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering the advantage of Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements: ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) classification indicates unlimited shelf life for both components, eliminating storage or handling constraints as a selection factor.

The packaging difference (Tape & Reel for SS14M2G5 versus bulk for SS14M1G5) does not affect functional performance and may provide operational advantages for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS14M2G5 be used as a direct replacement for SS14M1G5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. SS14M2G5 is functionally equivalent to SS14M1G5 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical contact size, wire gauge range, termination method, material composition, and finish specifications. The parts are interchangeable from a design and performance standpoint.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete status for SS14M1G5?

A: Obsolete status indicates that SS14M1G5 is no longer in active production. This classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent part for new production builds and long-term field service support. SS14M2G5 provides this continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between SS14M1G5 and SS14M2G5?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are identical for both components.

Q: Does the packaging format affect the electrical performance of these contacts?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The packaging difference is a supply and handling consideration only.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both SS14M1G5 and SS14M2G5?

A: Both parts accommodate 14-16 AWG wire (2.0 ~ 2.5mm²). Wire gauge compatibility is identical between the two components.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both SS14M1G5 and SS14M2G5 feature gold plating with a finish thickness of 5.00µin (0.127µm). Contact finish specifications are identical.

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

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without special storage or handling requirements.
