Yes, the originals are all from AMP.

Okay, I got the trawing from Tyco/Amp and this is the right part. It has the 
correct locking tab position for our FI connectors. It's interesting that this 
drawing does not specify the most important dimension in the part, which is the 
spacing for the thickness of the mating connector, but I'm willing to bet that 
it will turn out right.

The only thing I would question is the finish. The original terminals were all 
tin plated. The #63241-1 appears to have NO plating; it's just a plain brass 
part. The -2 part had tin plating but is now obsolete.   

The #63241-3 option is listed as having a "pre-tin" finish, but I don't know 
what that means. If it is just a thin tin coat (it's spec'd to the same 
thickness as the -2 part was) then I'd say this was the more desirable 
replacement for us.  

Any idea how much this would increase the cost?
