1418972-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1418972-1 is a center contact jack designed for use within the AMPMODU MOD II series connector systems. This component functions as a female receptacle contact, engineered to mate with corresponding male pins in modular connector assemblies. It is manufactured by TE Connectivity and is classified under their AMP Connectors product line. The item is identified as a 'CENTER CONTACT,JACK' in official distributor catalogs such as DigiKey. It is listed as a lead-free and RoHS compliant component, indicating adherence to specific environmental standards for electronic parts.

Feature Summary

• Functions as a center contact jack within modular connector systems
• Designed for mating with male pins in AMPMODU MOD II series housings
• Constructed as a standalone contact element for assembly into connector bodies

Applications

• Assembly of AMPMODU MOD II series rectangular connectors
• Electronic interconnect systems requiring modular contact solutions
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard AMPMODU housing formats

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required application utilizes the AMPMODU MOD II series housing, as this contact is specific to that system. Confirm that the design requires a center contact jack configuration rather than an edge or alternative position contact. Ensure that lead-free and RoHS compliance meets the project's environmental specifications before finalizing procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number 1418972-1 with the specific housing part numbers to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing or repairing circuits that utilize the AMPMODU MOD II series connector architecture. It is appropriate for applications requiring reliable electrical connections through modular plug-and-socket interfaces. Consider this part if the system design mandates the use of TE Connectivity's established AMPMODU ecosystem for its proven reliability and standardized dimensions. Ensure the mating hardware corresponds to the specified jack type.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader AMPMODU family of connectors, which are widely used in industrial and automotive applications for secure signal and power transmission. The MOD II series represents a specific generation of these connectors, offering standardized pin configurations and housing options. As a contact element, it serves as the critical interface point within the larger connector assembly, facilitating the electrical pathway between cables and printed circuit boards or other mating devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other TE Connectivity contacts compatible with the AMPMODU MOD II series, provided they match the specific position (center) and gender (jack). Verify that any alternative part maintains the same current rating and insulation characteristics. Generic equivalents are not recommended without rigorous validation against the original AMPMODU specifications.
