Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly allowed for parts within the same category (rectangular connectors) and series (Tiger Eye™ TFC), when all key parameters match, including connector type, pitch, positions, contact configuration, mounting, termination, shrouding, contact finish, current and voltage ratings, and compliance data. Substitutes are considered compatible if these critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance properties are identical or within accepted limits for this component class.

Key substitution parameters:

• Manufacturer
• Series
• Connector Type
• Contact Type
• Pitch - Mating
• Number of Positions
• Number of Rows
• Row Spacing - Mating
• Number of Positions Loaded
• Style
• Shrouding
• Mounting Type
• Termination
• Fastening Type
• Contact Length - Mating
• Insulation Height
• Contact Shape
• Contact Finish - Mating
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating
• Contact Finish - Post
• Contact Material
• Insulation Material
• Features
