Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 0460-202-20141 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part accommodates 20 AWG wire. Substitute parts must support 20 AWG or a wire gauge range that includes 20 AWG.

Contact Termination Method: Both the main part and substitute must use crimp termination to ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Contact Configuration: Pin contacts are substitutable only with other pin contacts; socket contacts are not interchangeable.

Contact Material and Finish: Copper alloy with nickel finish is the specified material system. Substitute parts must maintain this material composition and surface treatment for electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH status are critical for regulated markets. Substitute parts must meet or exceed the compliance profile of the main part.

The Amphenol Sine Systems Corp AT60-202-20141 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part for this application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 0460-202-20141 is the specified component and remains the first choice for new designs and procurement when availability permits.

Substitute Part Selection: The Amphenol Sine Systems Corp AT60-202-20141 is an active equivalent part suitable for direct substitution. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classification. The Amphenol part supports an extended wire gauge range of 20-22 AWG, which encompasses the 20 AWG requirement of the main part. The Amphenol part is REACH unaffected, which may provide regulatory advantages in certain supply chain scenarios compared to the REACH-affected TE Connectivity part.

Compliance Verification: Both parts meet current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial connector applications. Selection between the two parts may be influenced by supply chain considerations, existing connector platform standardization, and REACH compliance requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Sine Systems AT60-202-20141 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 0460-202-20141?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts with crimp termination, copper alloy material with nickel finish, and ROHS3 compliance. The Amphenol part accommodates 20-22 AWG wire, which includes the 20 AWG specification of the TE Connectivity part. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is specified for 20 AWG wire only. The Amphenol part supports 20-22 AWG wire. For applications requiring 20 AWG termination, the Amphenol part is fully compatible. The extended range does not compromise performance for 20 AWG applications.

Q: Are there differences in regulatory compliance between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN classification. The TE Connectivity part is REACH affected, while the Amphenol part is REACH unaffected. For applications subject to REACH restrictions, the Amphenol part may offer supply chain advantages.

Q: What does "machined" contact type mean?

A: Machined contacts are precision-formed through machining processes, resulting in consistent contact geometry and reliable electrical performance. Both the TE Connectivity and Amphenol parts are machined contacts suitable for power applications.

Q: Can socket contacts be substituted for these pin contacts?

A: No. Pin and socket contacts are distinct configurations and are not interchangeable. Substitution is limited to pin-to-pin or socket-to-socket configurations only.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume assembly operations and connector kit assembly.
